st: New package -xglm- for SSC

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Hello Kit

During yor absence from Boston, I uploaded a new package -xglm-, which 
is described as below on my website, and which I would like to submit 
for distribution at SSC. It is currently downloadable from the Imperial 
College FileExchange temporary URL
https://fileexchange.imperial.ac.uk/files/d0ae54a1ae/xglm.zip

and will be deleted on 24/06/2011 13:38:33.

The -xglm- package currently adds one extra estimation result to -glm-, 
namely the scalar -e(depvarsum)-, giving the sum of the dependent 
variable in the estimation sample. This result is useful if I do a 
logistic regression and want to output the results to a -parmby- 
resultsset complete with the numbers of observations and events. The 
minimum of the number of events and the number of non-events can be 
useful as a diagnostic, especially if divided by the number of 
parameters (calculated from -e(df_m)-) to produce a number of events per 
parameter, and to warn the user if this ratio is less than 5 (in which 
case the Central Limit Theorem may not look after the user very well).
Best wishes (and thanks in advance, and hoping you had a nice time away 
form Boston)
Roger
