gidecomposition Advice

[Jorge Martin]

Good afternoon,

I would like to seek your guidance as I am currently using Stata 18 but am unable to use the gidecomposition command. I also tried locating it using the help command, but it does not appear. Additionally, I could not find it in the ado-files.

May I ask if you have any advice on how I can install or use the gidecomposition command?

Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

gidecomposition is a community-contributed command, it is not realeased by official Stata. Download from here https://github.com/vavalomi/stata_tools/blob/master/gidecomposition/gidecomposition.ado and check helpfile of it.

This is my first time trying to install a downloaded ado. file, can you please help me on how to do this?

Use net install. If you are lucky enough, you will install it, but sometimes we will encounter error of host not found.

net describe gidecomposition, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vavalomi/stata_tools/refs/heads/master)
net install gidecomposition, from(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vavalomi/stata_tools/refs/heads/master)
host not found
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vavalomi/stata_tools/refs/heads/master/ either
  1)  is not a valid URL, or
  2)  could not be contacted, or
  3)  is not a Stata download site (has no stata.toc file).
