morgana 1.0.1
morgana fits the Royston-Parmar model only: any other stmerlin distribution now stops with an error.
Changed
- Only
distribution(rp), the Royston-Parmar model, is supported. Any otherstmerlindistribution now stops with an error (return code 198) beforebayesmhruns. - The help file says which distribution is supported, and two typos are fixed.
- The licence is GPL-3. It was MIT; the change is not retroactive, so 1.0.0 remains MIT.
Needs. Stata 18 or later, merlin 2.5.0, stmerlin 1.1.2.
Checked. With merlin 2.5.0 and stmerlin 1.1.2 on Stata 19.5, the three examples in the README run, and on the brcancer data the posterior means are within 0.025 of stmerlin's maximum likelihood estimates.
