ww_w_._p_o_m_i__n_e_.c__o__m_
What's new in release 10.1 (compared with release 10.0)
www__._p__om_i_n_e_._co__m_
Highlights for release 10.1 include the following:
w_w_w_.po__m_i__ne_.__com__
o Distribution and probability mass functions for the hypergeometric, negative binomial, and Poisson distributions have
been added to Stata. The probability mass function for the binomial distribution has also been added. See density
functions. Additionally, Mata now has these functions; see mata normal().
w__w__w_._po_m_i__n__e.c_om
o Random-variate functions for the beta, binomial, chi-squared, gamma, hypergeometric, negative binomial, normal,
Poisson and Student's t distributions have been added to Stata; see random-number functions. Additionally, Mata now
has these random-variate functions; see mata runiform().
w_ww__._po_m__i_n_e__.com
uniform() has been renamed to runiform() in order to be consistent with the naming convention of the nonuniform random
variate functions. uniform() continues to work, but is now undocumented. Mata functions uniform() and uniformseed()
have been renamed to runiform() and rseed().
w_ww__.p_o_min_e_.__co_m
o asmprobit and asroprobit have several new features including option factor(#) specifying use of a factor covariance
structure which models the covariance as I + C'C. Postestimation command estat facweights displays the covariance
factor weights in matrix form.
w_w__w._po_mi_ne.co_m_
o reshape now preserves the J variable value and variable labels and all xij variable labels when reshaping from wide to
long and back to wide.
w__ww__._p_om__i_ne._c__o__m_
o pwcorr has new option listwise, which specifies that missing values are to be handled by listwise deletion, allowing
users of pwcorr to mimic correlate's treatment of missing values while maintaining access to all of pwcorr's features.
ww__w_._po__m_i_n_e_._c_o_m
o Initialization Mata functions ghk_init() and ghkfast_init() as well as several other helper functions have been added
to construct, modify, and query structures defining simulation parameters and creating simulation points for
subsequent calls to ghk() and ghkfast().
w_w__w__.__p_om_i_n_e._c_o_m_
We recommend that you set version to version 10.1 at the top of new do-files and ado-files. See help version.
ww__w.po__mi_n__e.co_m
Ado-files
w_ww.p_o_min__e_.c_o_m__
1. asmprobit and asroprobit have a new covariance structure. Option factor(#) specifies to use the factor covariance
structure. For a model with J alternatives, the # x J factor matrix C, # smaller than J, models the covariance as I +
C'C, where I is a J x J identity matrix.
w__ww._p_om_ine_._c__o__m__
2. asmprobit and asroprobit have a new option favor(speedspace) that directs the programs to favor either speed or space
(memory) when executing. favor(speed) is the default.
ww_w_.__pom_in_e__.c_om_
3. asmprobit and asroprobit have a new option nopivot that will direct the programs not to pivot integration intervals so
that wider intervals are on the inside of the multivariate integration. This option may be useful when fitting a model
with few simulation points.
w__w_w._po_m_i_n_e_._c_o_m_
4. biplot did not honor if or in qualifiers when computing means (and standard deviations with option std) used in the
computations. This has been fixed.
ww__w._po_mine.co__m_
5. bootstrap and jackknife removed the vce() option when it was specified on the command being bootstrapped or jackknifed,
resulting in calculations based on the conventional standard errors and covariances instead of the requested
alternative. This has been fixed.
www_._p__omi_n_e._c_o_m
6. canon's default output has changed. canon now displays matrices of raw coefficients by default. canon no longer
documents option coefmatrix which specified the display of matrices of raw coefficients. Setting version to less than
10.1 will display the raw coefficients, conditionally estimated standard errors and confidence intervals in the standard
estimation table by default; this output can also be obtained by using the new stderr option.
www_._pom__i_n_e__.c_om__
7. dstdize reported large population totals rounded to floating point precision. This has been fixed.
ww_w__.__po_mine.c_o__m_
8. egen function mode() with option missing now treats missing values as a category when finding the mode. The options
minmode, maxmode, and nummode() can now be specified with and without the missing option for the desired mode. When
version is set to less than 10.1 with option missing, missing values are not treated as a category.
w_w_w__._p_o_m_ine_.__c_o_m__
9. egen functions total() and rowtotal() have new option missing. With this option, if all values of exp or varlist for an
observation are missing, then that observation in newvar will be set to missing.
w_ww.__po__m__i__ne__.c_o_m_
10. New postestimation command estat facweights after asmprobit, factor(#) and asroprobit, factor(#) displays the covariance
factor weights in matrix form.
w_w_w_._po_m__i__n__e._c__om
11. The dialog box for fdasave did not place quotation marks around the path and filename, causing an error when the path or
filename contained spaces. This has been fixed.
w_w__w.po_m_i_n__e.co__m
12. In the Graph Editor when editing a bar graph that had been created with the by option, the Sort button of both the
Contextual Toolbar for the bar region and the properties dialog for the bar region failed to sort the graph's bars.
This has been fixed.
www.p__o_m__ine.__c__o_m
13. The dialog box for graph twoway now allows plots to be reordered when multiple plots have been defined.
w_w_w__._p_om_i_n_e_.__c_o_m_
14. ivregress, when a heteroskedasticity-and-autocorrelation consistent VCE or weight matrix was requested with the Bartlett
kernel and Newey and West's optimal bandwith selection algorithm, could report incorrect standard errors. When the GMM
estimator was used, the point estimates could also be incorrect. This has been fixed. Whether one observes changes in
output as a result of this bug fix is data dependent.
w_w_w.p_om__in_e_._c__o_m_
15. Mata functions ghk() and ghkfast() have a new syntax. Initialization functions ghk_init() and ghkfast_init() as well as
several helper functions have been added to construct, modify, and query structures defining simulation parameters and
creating simulation points for subsequent calls to ghk() and ghkfast().
ww__w.p_o_mi__n_e_.c_om
16. pwcorr has new option listwise, which specifies that missing values are to be handled by listwise deletion, that is,
observations containing missing values for any of the given variables are removed from the estimation sample before any
calculations take place. By default pwcorr uses pairwise deletion, under which the correlation calculation for each
variable pair uses all available data without regard to missing values outside that variable pair.
w__w_w__._p__o__m_i__n__e__._c_om
Specifying listwise allows users of pwcorr to mimic correlate's treatment of missing values while maintaining access to
all of pwcorr's features.
www_.p_o__min_e__._c_om
17. reshape now preserves the J variable value and variable labels and all xij variable labels when reshaping from wide to
long and back to wide. Previous behavior is obtained by setting version to less than 10.1.
ww_w.p_o_m__in_e_._co_m_
18. roctab and roccomp, although r-class commands, left information in the ereturn list from calls they made to the logistic
command. This has been fixed.
w__ww_.__p_o_m_i_n__e__.c_om_
19. stpower did not allow spaces in file names specified in option saving(). This has been fixed.
w_w_w._p_o_m__i_n_e_.__c_om_
20. svy's descriptive statistics commands (svy: mean, svy: proportion, svy: ratio, and svy: total) were marking out
observations that had missing values in the variable list for observations outside the subpopulation. This affects the
estimated variance values when the primary sampling units were the individual observations and could decrease the design
degrees of freedom. Both of these effects are very slight and inversely related to the sample size. This has been
fixed.
w__ww__.p_o__m_i_n__e.co__m_
21. svy did not allow the missing() function to be specified in the if expression within the subpop() option. This has been
fixed.
w_w_w_.p_om_ine_.__c_o_m
22. xthtaylor, when used with a sufficient number of perfectly collinear covariates, would drop different variables when the
same command was repeatedly run. This has been fixed.
ww_w._po_mi_n__e_.c_om_
23. xtgee, when used with corr(fixed matname), deleted matrix matname. This has been fixed.
w__w__w_.__p_o_m_i__n_e__._com__
24. xtmelogit and xtmepoisson now support the maximize option from(); see maximize. This allows users to specify starting
values, which can significantly speed up estimation. For these two commands, from() is particularly useful when
combined with refineopts(iterate(0)), which bypasses the initial optimization stage.
w_w_w._p_o_m_i_n_e_.co_m__
25. As of Stata 10.1, xtmixed, xtmelogit, and xtmepoisson now require that random-effects specifications contain an explicit
level variable (or _all) followed by a colon. Previously, if these were omitted a level specification of _all: was
assumed, leading to confusion when only the colon was omitted. To avoid this confusion, omitting the colon now produces
an error, with previous behavior preserved under version control.
w_w__w__.__p__o_mine._c__o_m_
26. xtreg with option be, when used with regressors that included time-series operators, would exit with an error message
saying "time-series operators not allowed." Now, time-series operators are allowed.
ww__w_.p_om__i_ne__.__c_o_m
Stata executable, all platforms
w__w_w._p_o_min_e_.com__
27. Distribution and probability mass functions for the hypergeometric, negative binomial, and Poisson distributions have
been added to Stata. The probability mass function for the binomial distribution has also been added. See density
functions. Additionally, Mata now has these functions; see mata normal().
ww__w_._po_m_i__n_e_.c__om_
28. Random-variate functions for the beta, binomial, chi-squared, gamma, hypergeometric, negative binomial, normal, Poisson
and Student's t distributions have been added to Stata; see random-number functions. Additionally, Mata now has these
random-variate functions; see mata runiform().
w_ww.__po_mi_ne_.__co__m
29. Function uniform() has been renamed to runiform() in order to be consistent with the naming convention of the nonuniform
random variate functions. uniform() continues to work, but is now undocumented. Mata functions uniform() and
uniformseed() have been renamed to runiform() and rseed().
w_w_w__.__p_om_in__e._c_o_m_
30. Old function Binomial() is no longer allowed (as of Stata 10.1); binomialtail() should be used instead. Binomial() is
allowed when version is set to less than 10.1.
w__ww__._p_o_m_i_ne__._co_m_
31. drawnorm now uses the new rnormal() function to generate normal random variates. When version is set to less than 10.1,
drawnorm reverts to using invnormal(uniform()).
w_w_w__._p__o_m_i_ne_.c_o_m
32. Mata's addition colon operator, :+, crashed Stata if one of the arguments was a void string matrix. This has been
fixed.
w_w_w__._p__om_i_ne._co__m_
33. Mata function hash1(x, n) returned n+1 for certain x and n. This has been fixed.
w_w_w.__p__o_m_in__e__._c_om_
34. Mata function strofreal() returned different results depending on the style of decimal point setting. This has been
fixed.
ww_w__.__p_o_m_i_n_e__.__c_o__m__
35. mlmatbysum now checks for string variables in the by() option. String variables are not allowed in this option.
w_ww_.__p_omine.c_o_m
36. odbc insert with option create now writes Stata doubles as SQL data type FLOAT(53) instead of REAL. Most of the time in
SQL the REAL data type maps to a 4 byte float so on SQL Server, for example, there was a loss of precision for all
doubles.
w_w_w_._p_o_mi_n__e__._c__om
37. oneway with a constant response_var and option bonferroni, scheffe, or sidak produced invalid p-values in the comparison
table. For larger datasets, Stata stopped responding while oneway was in the middle of producing the comparison table.
This has been fixed.
www_._pom_in__e__.__c__o_m__
38. stcox now allows a maximum of 100 variables to be specified in option tvc(). The previous limit was 10.
w__w_w_.__p_o_m_i_n_e__.c_om_
Stata executable, Windows
w__ww__._p_om__i__n__e._c_o_m_
39. postfile with option every() did not cause post to write results to disk as often as was specified in every(). This has
been fixed.
ww_w_.__p_o_m_i_n_e_._co_m__
40. The Do-File editor did not allow printing a selection. This has been fixed.
w_ww._p__o__min_e._co__m_
41. When grid editing in the graph editor, dragging an object into another cell did not highlight the target cell properly.
Now the target cell is shown in a darker translucent red, which is consistent with Stata for Mac OS and Unix.
ww__w_.pomine__.__co_m
Stata executable, Macintosh
w_w_w.p_o_m_i__n_e._c__om__
42. You may now disable keyboard navigation in the Variables and Review windows from the General Preferences dialog. See
revkeyboard or varkeyboard for more information.
w_ww_.pom_i_n__e_.__c__om__
43. Pressing cmd-left arrow and cmd-right arrow in the Command window will now move the cursor to the beginning of a line
and to the end of a line, respectively.
ww_w_.__po__m_i_ne_.__com__
Stata executable, Unix
w__w__w._po_m_i_n_e._com_
44. printer define now allows up to 100 defined printers. The previous limit was 10.
w_ww._po_mine_._co_m__
45. Previously, when opening an existing do-file using File > Open from an existing Do-file Editor window, the do-file to be
opened would replace the contents of the existing Do-file Editor window regardless of whether the existing window had
been saved or not. Stata now always opens an existing do-file in a new window. The Open Recent menu would display some
characters as underlined if a filename contained an underscore. This has been fixed. The Open Recent menu in a new
Do-file Editor window would not show the most recent file added to the menu. This has been fixed. |
