Age–Period–Cohort Models in Stata

Spatial panel data models using Stata

xsmle is a new command for spatial analysis using Stata. We consider the quasi-maximum likelihood estimation of a wide set of both fixedand randomeffects spatial models for balanced panel data. Of special note is that xsmle allows to handle unbalanced panels thanks to its full compatibility with the mi suite of commands, to use spatial weight matrices in the form of both Stata matrices and spma...

Distribution-Free Estimation of Heteroskedastic Binary Response Models in Stata

This paper considers two recently proposed semiparametric estimators for distribution-free binary response models under a conditional median restriction. It shows that these estimators can be implemented in Stata using nl through simple modifications to the nonlinear least squares probit criterion function. We then introduce dfbr, a new Stata command which implements these estimators, and provi...

Robust Regression in Stata

In regression analysis, the presence of outliers in the data set can strongly distort the classical least squares estimator and lead to unreliable results. To deal with this, several robust-to-outliers methods have been proposed in the statistical literature. In Stata, some of these methods are available through the commands rreg and qreg. Unfortunately, these methods only resist to some specif...

Regression models for categorical dependent variables using Stata, 2nd Edition

A Stata Plugin for Estimating Group-Based Trajectory Models

Group-based trajectory models are used to investigate population differences in the developmental courses of behaviors or outcomes . This article demonstrates a new Stata command, traj, for fitting to longitudinal data finite (discrete) mixture models designed to identify clusters of individuals following similar progressions of some behavior or outcome over age or time. Censored normal, Poisso...
