ietoolkit version v7.0
ietoolkit version 7.0
Major updates:
New command: iesave. This command is meant to replace the built in command save. iesave applies best practices for research data before saving a data set. It also have the option to save a report in Git friendly format with meta data about the data set and the variables in it. This report can be used to track changes to the data on Git without tracking the data set itself on Git. See more in helpfile.
New major feature: ieboilstart, adopath(). This new option makes reproducible research best practices, in relation to user-written commands and ado-files, easily accessible. This ado-path settings has recently emerged as the gold standard when creating replication packages, but has required a very advanced knowledge of how ado-paths work in Stata. This is no longer needed as this new option makes using that best practice simple. See more in helpfile.
Major re-write: iebaltab. A complete re-write of the command was undertaken. This command was written in a way where it was difficult to add new features. This major re-write deprecate some old options so it could potentially break old code. Apart from that, the only changes noticeable to a user should be minor changes to the column order in the outputted table. This command now also returns two matrices with all the estimates generated from the command. These matrices allows a user to create their own custom LaTeX table exactly how they want it, as iebaltab simply cannot support all flavors there is out there. See more in helpfile.
New command: iedorep. This is a beta-release meaning that this command is only released for testing. Major changes without backward compatibility are likely. The command tests for stability in randomization. See more in helpfile.
