A new update to StataNow has just been released
An update to StataNow is now available. You can update your copy of StataNow to access the latest features, including the following:
Psychometric meta-analysis. With the new meta psycorr command, you can perform psychometric meta-analysis—combining corrected correlations that account for measurement error, range restrictions, artificial dichotomization, and small-study bias. Use familiar commands in the meta suite to create forest plots, perform subgroup analysis, and more.
Proportional odds test. The ordered logit model fit by ologit relies on the proportional odds assumption, also called the parallel lines assumption. With the new estat parallel command, you can easily test for proportional odds.
Moderating effects for heterogeneous DID. The new estat moderation command estimates moderating effects after fitting heterogeneous difference-in-differences models. Learn how the cohort- and time-varying average treatment effects on the treated (ATETs) vary with covariates.
Convert Word documents to HTML, EPUB, and more. With the new docx2html, docx2epub, docx2markdown, and docx2txt commands, you can convert Word documents (.docx files) to HTML, EPUB, Markdown, and plain text formats. Whether you create a report with Stata results by using putdocx or you have an existing Word document, you can easily convert your document to any of these formats.
Discrete derivatives. Two new Mata classes are available for discrete numerical derivatives. Use the DerivDiscreteDiff() class to compute the coefficients for a real, discrete numerical derivative using finite difference approximation. And use the DerivDiscretePartial() class to compute discrete numerical partial derivatives.
HDFE interactions. The areg, ivrgress 2sls, and xtreg, fe commands now allow you to use factor-variable notation when specifying the variables to be absorbed in the absorb() option. This is particularly useful when you wish to include interactions between high-dimensional fixed effects and continuous variables.
Do-file Editor enhancements.
Bracket pair colorization. The Do-file Editor now supports bracket pair colorization for do- and ado-files. With bracket pair colorization, matching brackets—(), {}, and []—are highlighted so that users can follow nested code structure at a glance.
Code folding line guide. You can now set your preferences so that the Do-file Editor displays a line guide in the code-folding margin to denote where a code block begins and ends.
Default action of Do button. The Do-file Editor now allows you to set a preference that determines the default action of the Do button. Select from Execute (do), Execute (do) line, Execute quietly (run), and more.
