stexcess 1.1.3
An error while obtaining starting values now returns its own code, and the messages for a missing merlin or stmerlin give their install lines.
Fixed
- An error while obtaining starting values returned code 0, so a do-file carried on with no model. It now returns the error's code.
Changed
stmerlinis now checked for at the start, and the messages shown whenmerlinorstmerlinis missing give their install lines from this website.- The post-estimation help file's example now calls
stexcessand simulates its data. - The help file now says that
dftvc()is required withtvc(), and text on optionsstexcessdoes not have is removed.
Needs. Stata 17 or later, merlin 2.5.0, stmerlin 1.1.2.
