BART in Stata?

[Lale Mur]

Hello, everyone.

Is there anyway to conduct BART ( Bayesian Additive Regression Trees) package in Stata. It seems to exist in R, but what about Stata?

I need it for systematic treatment effect heterogeneity in my survey experiments.

Thank you very much.

Regards,

L.

Presumably you tried search in Stata and Google?

Dear Nick,

Yes, I have conducted search in Stata and I have extensively googled it as well. in vain. It comes up as a package in R, nothing else. Could someone please help me out with that? Thank you

Sorry, what's the question now? If you want support on a R package, I would move to a forum that supports R questions. I can't advise on which might be best for you.

My question remains the same as before. If there is anyway to have BART in Stata? If I wanted to use R, I would use it of course. I am currently using Stata, therefore have asked about Stata. I am not sure if we are speaking the same language.

The question is resolved. The scholar who suggested using the BART over other techniques responded to my question! There is no interface to Stata for BART. Thanks to everyone who read the question.

Thanks for the closure.

I don't know how anyone can be certain that a program doesn't exist; nevertheless my guess is that your contact is correct. If neither search nor Google finds something, the only obvious alternatives are programs not yet made public.

You asked " It comes up as a package in R, nothing else. Could someone please help me out with that?" and that seemed like a request for help with R, hence my comment.

Thank you, Nick Cox. Sorry if I came across a bit aggressive, or impatient. Best, L

Thanks for the signal. I don't think an apology is needed; we just had a little difficulty understanding what you were seeking.
