Join us for an introduction to writing your own estimation command in Stata. This webinar builds on the previous webinar, How to create basic Stata commands, and focuses on commands for model fitting.
We will first show you how to create a command to convert Stata variables to matrices, how to use matrix calculations to to fit models, and how to display the results in standard Stata output. Then, you will see how you can use ml to maximize likelihood functions. Learn how common features of Stata estimation commands are automatically available. We also demonstrate how you can easily adapt your commands to account for complex survey data.
The webinar is free, but you must register to attend. Registrations are limited so register soon.
We will send you an email prior to the start with instructions on how to access the webinar.
