=Stata and Notepad++=

I have posted my instructions for integrating Stata and Notepad++ as a separate project:

=Stata Programs=

This project contains Stata .ado and .do files and other code I've written. Among other programs, you'll find...

  • {{{did3 }}} - Create difference-in-differences tables.
  • {{{mat2txt2 }}} - Export matrix to text file.
  • {{{meantab }}} - mean varlist, with columns separated by a categorical variable.
  • {{{memmax }}} - Set memory to the maximum allowed by your operating system.
  • {{{motionshart }}} - Create graphs of your data, from Stata, as a [http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html Google Motion Chart]
  • {{{normdiff }}} - Create a table to compare means of two groups, with a column containing normalized differences.
  • {{{predlog2 }}} - Duan smearing & heteroscedastic smearing retransformation.

[http://code.google.com/p/kk-adofiles/source/browse/stata.toc Here is a full list] of available packages.

Access

You can get to the programs three ways:

(Recommended) Use Mercurial to [http://code.google.com/p/kk-adofiles/source/checkout checkout] this repository, then install the .ado files.

{{{ #get files hg clone https://kk-adofiles.googlecode.com/hg/kk-adofiles cd kk-adofiles

#if this isn't a folder recognized by Stata, you could use the .toc file to install:
stata
. net from "`c(pwd)'"

}}}

In Stata, you should be able to type the following (although this doesn't always work due to a bug in Stata)

{{{ net from http://kk-adofiles.googlecode.com/hg/

net describe pub2web, from("http://kk-adofiles.googlecode.com/hg/")
net install  pub2web, from("http://kk-adofiles.googlecode.com/hg/")

}}}

Click [http://code.google.com/p/kk-adofiles/source/browse/ browse] link above. When you click on a file, you'll see a "View raw file" link in the box on the right. (Notice that you can download a .zip or .tar file with all files.) Download file and save into your "personal" or "plus" directory.
