pscore not working in STATA 16

[Aravinda Garimella]

Hi,

I have used pscore in the past on STATA 13. Today, I tried it for the first time on STATA 16 and it is not working. I tried:

ssc install psmatch2, replace

Also tried installing psmatch2 from the link I got when I ran:

net search propensity score

The error I get is: "command pscore is unrecognized"

Could someone please help me? Thank you.

pscore is not part of the psmatch2 package. It has a quite different pedigree.
