The Stata package “multilevel tools” (mlt) includes a range of ado-files for postestimation after multilevel models (xtmixed/xtmelogit). Up to now, it contains three commands (more ado-files will be added in the future): mltrsq gives the Boskers/Snijders R-square and the Bryk/Raudenbusch...

Dong and Lewbel have developed the theory of simple estimators for binary choice models with endogenous or mismeasured regressors, depending on a “special regressor” as defined by Lewbel (Journal of Econometrics, 2000). These estimators can be used with limited, censored, continuous, or...

In this talk, I aim to discuss tools to compare the observed distribution of a variable with the theoretical distribution assumed by a model. In particular, I will focus on the situation where a model assumes a certain distribution for the explained/dependent/y variable and one or more...

Roodman (Stata Journal, 2011) introduced the program cmp for using maximum likelihood to fit multiequation combinations of Gaussian-based models such as tobit, probit, ordered probit, multinomial probit, interval censoring, and continuous linear. This presentation describes substantial...

Biographical data gathered in surveys is often stored in spell format, allowing for overlaps between spell states. This gives useful information to researchers but leaves them with a very complex data structure, which is not easy to handle. I present my work on the ado-package newspell. It...
