How can I download Duun's test to STATA?

[DIVYA DHARSHINI]

Dear All,

I want to do post hoc analysis after Kruskal Wallis test. I tried to do a Dunn's test, but I couldn't download it. I am using STATA 14.
Some one please help me in downloading the package.
Thanks in advance.

I guess you mean this package:

SJ-15-2 st0381_1  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Software update for dunntest
        (help dunntest if installed)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A. Dinno
        Q2/15   SJ 15(2):605--606
        adds new features: Hochberg's adjustment for multiple
        comparisons, Benjamini-Yekutieli false-discovery-rate
        adjustment for multiple comparisons, and option to report
        row-column or column-row pairwise differences; corrects
        several bugs

SJ-15-1 st0381   Nonparametric pairwise multiple comparisons using Dunn's test
        (help dunntest if installed)  . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A. Dinno
        Q1/15   SJ 15(1):292--300
        produces nonparametric pairwise multiple comparisons following
        a Kruskal-Wallis k-way test (kwallis)

If you go

search dunntest

a window will open and clicking on st0381_1 will lead to installation.

Hi,
I am also having trouble installing this software on my stata 16.0
As advised, I typed search dunntest and then clicked on st0381_1
But it came up with the following statement


package name: st0381_1.pkg
from: http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/

checking st0381_1 consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into c:\ado\plus\...
file c:\ado\plus\stata.trk could not be opened

I have no idea of your set-up but I have experience of network set-ups in which users do not have write permission on the C: drive (contrary to what people used to individual machines may suppose).

True or not, a work-around could be to change to a directory where you do have write permission and go

copy http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/dunntest.ado dunntest.ado 

copy http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/dunntest.sthlp dunntest.sthlp

[Shripada Rao]

Thank you, I tried using the codes, but could not install it. It came up with this statement:

Try using double-quotation marks around the URL.

copy "http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/dunntest.ado" dunntest.ado

copy "http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/dunntest.sthlp" dunntest.sthlp

Thank you, I tried, but it came up with this message

[Nick Cox]

Sorry; you need the package identifier too as in

http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/st0381_1/dunntest.ado

and equivalently for the help file.

[Shripada Rao]

Thank you, Tried this one, but came up with the following messages

Save the attached do-file to the desired directory, open Stata, cd to that directory so that it's the working directory and run the do-file. You should get something like the following in Stata's Results window.

.ÿ
.ÿforeachÿfileÿinÿ"dunntest.ado"ÿ"dunntest.sthlp"ÿ{
ÿÿ2.ÿÿÿÿÿcopyÿ"http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-2/st0381_1/`file'"ÿ`file'

Thank you,
I will try soon

help copy

shows that copy needs two arguments, the file to be copied and the new name. Two arguments were used in #4 #5 #6 #7-- just that the first argument was wrong.

in #9 you didn't give a second argument.

[Shripada Rao]

Thank you so much! Once I added the new name in the end, I was able to copy the files. Thank you.

[Shripada Rao]

And I was able to use the following data and conduct Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn test

use https://www.stata-press.com/data/r16/census
(1980 Census data by state)

kwallis medage, by(region)

dunntest medage, by(region) ma(bonferroni) nokwallis

Thank you
