Thank you! This is really useful

What happens when you run the below commands?


net cd http://www.stata.com/users/
net cd kcrow
net install twitter2stata, replace
which twitter2stata.ado
which twitter2stata-1.0.4.jar

A very creative post

Type clear to remove any unsaved data from memory. Facebook no longer supports the API we used.

Graph API

This command no longer works.

Hi everyone
Happy I'm here. I was seeking the non parametric equivalence of my 48 observations time motion study with a slightly negatively skewed time distribution
I see a kernel regretion like this

npregress kernel hectoliters taxlevel, vce(bootstrap, reps(100) seed(123))

Could I please know the meaning of replications and seed and their implications on results. What is the advantage of 100 replications over 50? What is the best practice?

Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Thank you for your useful work !

K2= # of additional regressors in the model with more regressors

Pi= P/R
P is the number of out-ofsample observations and R is the number of observations used to construct the first forecast.

How to solve for this problem? I used data from http://www.stata-press.com/...

dsge (p={beta}*E(F.p)^gdpdef)///
syntax error
equation /// invalid
r(198);

This is very useful command. But I think it does not work on STATA version 12. Any alternative for STATA v.12?

These two commands only work with Stata 15. The -putdocx- command is only in Stata 15.

keepcellformat is not working in stata15. Any reason?

Hi Kevin,
I like your command, however it doesn't work at my computer. I downloaded it to Stata and when I run it, this error message occurs:

Could you please help me?

Thanky a lot

First, try and reinstall the command.

net install http://www.stata.com/users/..., replace

Next, try and just scrape the 2018 season.

nflstata scrape

We don't have that yet, but you could use putpdf do export to a pdf file. You can just copy tab2docx.ado file to tab2pdf.ado and do a find and replace on putdocx to putpdf because the syntaxes are almost identical. Make sure your program name at the top of the code is tab2pdf.

Having the same problem as Matthias. Reinstalled it but the problem still exists with the same error message

Hi Kevin, You've built a nice command. Its running for the most part on my environment but I'm running into a few hiccups (mostly due to my inexperience with stata).

Trying to run the bar graph command but getting kicked back with the 'variable _variables does not uniquely identify the observations' error. I'm tracing the cause back to the if statement but unsure of how to debug.

This error occurs because your Stata/Java Runtime is not up-to-date. Type

update all

in your Stata Command Window to update Stata.
