Definitely been a good read thus far and I'd highly recommend it to any Stata users who want to know more about using Mata.

The default language is en. Try using the option lang(all) to get more results.

No. If you want to apply cholesky decomposition you need to run orthogonal impulse response function (oirf).

"twitter2stata searchusers" seems to only be returning 100 results at a time. But when I ran it a few weeks ago, it would return 1000 (and that is what the documentation says). Did something change?

Dear Charles, I was wondering whether it is also possible to apply this approach in a panel data setting?

I am trying to fit a model in which I have two stages (lead generation and lead succes) that are likely to be governed by a sample selection process. For both stages, my outcome is a binary variable and I observe multiple cases per sales person over time (hence a panel structure) for which I need to control using random effects.

Thanks.

Nice post, thanks

This is great Sir. I have a question pertaining to the first chapter of the DSGE manual. In the linearized inflation equation, I noticed that the coefficient kappa embedded some parameters and even a steady state inflation π. Is it a norm to count interwoven parameters and steady state variable as a single parameter such as kappa. Thanks.

Nothing with the code. Maybe with the Twitter Web API. I will look into it.

I will fix this in an update to the command.

Reproducing example 2 in Stata 14 is showing the following error:
forval command may not result from a macro expansion interactively or in do files

hi, i don't understand how to use drift or trend options: my series have no trend so, i run: dfuller (var), drift; so which is my H0? Considering drift give me a t test bigger that 5% c.v. But discarding i get a significative t test for all c.v.'s (That are bit bigger that those when i consider drift), but I don't understand how to interpret The test..

it looks so helpful to me and i try this, but it does not work. in my case, 'option open not allowed' error massage reported. i am using STATA ver15

Make sure you are up-to-date. The open option was added in Stata 15.1. Type update all to update your Stata.

Can I use 'summarize()' option as in tabulate command here?

I will see if Chris can get this done by the end of summer.

tab2docx sounds very promising. But it seems one has to install putdocx first.
How do I do that?
Is it possible to use tab2docx in version 14?

putdocx was added in Stata 15.

I recevied the mensage:

no; data in memory would be lost

What should I do?
?

How can i export twoway tab table in excel?
