Fitstat in STATA 16

27 Sep 2020, 07:56

Hi,

I've just started using STATA, apologies for my very basic question.

I'm trying to obtain Odds Ratios and measures of fit after running an ordered logistic regression using ologit in STATA 16. However, I don't seem to be able to install the spost13_ado package. It's neither found when typing search spost13_ado nor can I install it using the direct . net from http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/ command (or as recommended by stata: . net from https://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/stata.toc), even though I'm connected to the internet and can find the file when searching for it by hand.

The internet seems to suggest that the package worked in STATA 15, does it have anything to do with me using STATA 16? I've also checked for all updates as recommended and still wasn't successful.

I'd really appreciate any help.

Many thanks,
Franzi

First of all, let me say that several things I tried led inconsistently to problems. But one key thing is that

Code:

http://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/

is no longer appropriate and

Code:

https://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/

is required.

With that said, here are several approaches that worked for me, using Stata 16.1 for Mac.

First, the direct approach.

Code:

. net query
from    http://www.stata.com
ado     /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/
other   (current directory)

. net install spost13_ado, from(https://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/)
checking spost13_ado consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.

.

This more verbose approach worked as well.

Code:

. net query
from http://www.stata.com
ado /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/
other (current directory)

. net from https://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/

. net install spost13_ado
checking spost13_ado consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.

And finally, the GUI approach.

Code:

. net query
from http://www.stata.com
ado /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/
other (current directory)

after which I clicked on "spost13_ado" in the list above, which ran the command

Code:

net describe spost13_ado

and displayed its output in the Viewer window, where I clicked on the "click here to install", which ran the command

Code:

net install spost13_ado.pkg

which displayed its output in the Viewer window.

Code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package installation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

package name:  spost13_ado.pkg
        from:  https://www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/stata/

checking spost13_ado consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.

Let me add: the major impediment to installing spost13_ado this morning is that

Code:

search spost13_ado

returns the following in the Viewer window.

Code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- search for spost13_ado (manual: [R] search) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Search of official help files, FAQs, Examples, and Stata Journals Search of web resources from Stata and other users (contacting http://www.stata.com) no matches (click here to return to the previous screen) (end of search)

It is possible that this is a transient problem - the web site Scott Long maintains at Indiana may have been down or unreachable when Stata did its daily visit to sites it knows about to build the index used by the search command.

On the other hand, it is possible that there is a configuration error on the web site, or perhaps an error in the configuration of Stata's daily program.

As of today, the problem described in post #3 has been resolved, so the simplest way of installing spost13_ado again works.

Code:

search spost13_ado

now returns the following in the Viewer window.

Code:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
search for spost13_ado                                            (manual:  [R] search)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Search of official help files, FAQs, Examples, and Stata Journals

Search of web resources from Stata and other users

(contacting http://www.stata.com)

2 packages found (Stata Journal and STB listed first)
-----------------------------------------------------

spost13_ado from https://jslsoc.sitehost.iu.edu/stata
    Distribution-date: 19Jul2020 / spost13_ado | SPost13 commands from Long
    and Freese (2014) / Regression Models for Categorical Outcomes using
    Stata, 3rd Edition. / Support www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/spost.htm / Scott
    Long ([email protected]) & Jeremy Freese ([email protected])

spost9_legacy from https://jslsoc.sitehost.iu.edu/stata
    Distribution-date: 18Feb2014 / spost9_legacy | SPost9 commands not
    included in spost13_ado. / From Long and Freese, 2014, Regression Models
    for Categorical Outcomes / using Stata, 3rd Edition. / Support
    www.indiana.edu/~jslsoc/spost.htm / Scott Long ([email protected]) &

(end of search)

Clicking on spost13_ado then proceeds as in the GUI approach described in post #2.

Is it compatible with mi estimate? tried fitstat after ologit involving mi data, but it gave me "fitstat does not work with the last model estimated"

no, it is not

if you really need -fitstat- or some part of it that is not available anyplace else, you can use -mi xeq- and compute -fitstat- after each and then combine yourself; see

Code:

help mi xeq
