A collection of Stata scripts and dialog boxes These scripts are developed as a side effect of my analyses using Stata. The help files and dialog boxes are part of my learning how to write Stata programs. A list with the content of each program is below. Not all programs are not yet available via the SSC, but will be in the future.
- checkdim - Checks if a variable has observations for all categories of another variable. This tool is mainly used to check if a variable has values for all time periods e.g. years.
- emptyvar - Finds variables containing no values and drops them.
- expandIhlp - Integrates .ihlp files into normal help files to allow repeated usage of text without the need to ship the .ihlp-file(s) itself. This is mainly a convience tool other programmers.
- getperc - Returns the relative frequency of categorical variable for further processing.
- multif - Constructs multiple if-restrictions. It allows to apply the same if-restriction(s) to different variables for the same command. Mainly delevoped and used for the count command, but it works for other scenarios as well.
- num2base26 - An interface to the numbase26() function of Mata. Converts a number to a letter. Useful when creating Excel tables in Stata
- sgpv - Calculate Second Generation P-Values (SGPV) based on the R-code by Jeffrey D. Blume and Valerie F. Welty available here In addition to the translation of the R-code into Stata code, a new wrapper command was added which allows the calculation of the SGPVs after commonly used estimation commands. The sgpv command is the main command for normal users. It offers features which are not available in the original R-code.
To install the programs, just download them and the corresponding help file and dialog box to your local ado folder. Or run net install programname, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/skbormann/stata-tools/testing/) replace
