st: New package -regpar- on SSC

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

Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new package -regpar- is now available 
for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.

The -regpar- package is described as below on my website, and estimates 
population unattributable and attributable risks (PURs and PARs) from 
binary regression models. Note that PURs and PARs are not the same as 
population unattributable and attributable fractions (PUFs and PAFs), 
because PUFs and PAFs are ratios of arithmetic means (which include 
risks), whereas PURs and PARs are risks and risk differences, respectively.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      regpar: Population attributable risks from binary regression models

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      regpar calculates confidence intervals for population attributable
      risks, and also for scenario proportions.  regpar can be used after
      an estimation command whose predicted values are interpreted as
      conditional proportions, such as logit, logistic, probit, or glm.
      It estimates two scenario proportions, a baseline scenario
      ("Scenario 0") and a fantasy scenario ("Scenario 1"), in which one
      or more exposure variables are assumed to be set to particular
      values (typically zero), and any other predictor variables in the
      model are assumed to remain the same.  It also estimates the
      difference between the Scenario 0 proportion and the Scenario 1
      proportion.  This difference is known as the population
      attributable risk (PAR), and represents the amount of risk
      attributable to living in Scenario 0 instead of Scenario 1.
