Re: st: Stata 13 wishlist

I second that suggestion:

"to show commands and syntaxes in the results window". Oftentimes, it is 
hard to figure out the syntax when making minor edits to a graph....it 
would be so helpful if we could see the syntax that makes the change.

....and the others about improving the -sem- module. It is a great tool, 
particularly because it is the first version, and it has many advantages 
vis-à-vis other programs (e.g., like MPlus). However, it would be good 
if -sem- could be fine tuned on a couple of things:

1. robust overdidentification (chi-square) statistic for modules with 
continuous indicators of latent variables

2. categorical indicators of latent variables and categorical dependent 
variables (with a robust Weighted Least Squares statistic, e.g., see:
Flora, D. B., & Curran, P. J. (2004). An empirical evaluation of 
alternative methods of estimation for confirmatory factor analysis with 
ordinal data. Psychological Methods, 9(4), 466-491.
Muthén, B. O. (1984). A general structural equation model with 
dichotomous, ordered categorical, and continuous latent variable 
indicators. Psychometrika, 49(1), 115-132.
Muthén, B. O., du Toit, S. H. C., & Spisic, D. (in press). Robust 
inference using weighted least squares and quadratic estimating 
equations in latent variable modeling with categorical and continuous 
outcomes. Psychometrika.

All the best to all for the new year.
