Are there user-written modules specifically based on Tukey's EDA techniques?

[Wendy Garrard]

Hello StataList,

I am looking for user-written modules that address Exploratory Data Analysis strategies in the spirit of Tukey's recommendations.The only obvious reference my search has turned up is:

• Billy Buchanan, 2018. "Automating Exploratory Data Analysis Tasks with -eda-," 2018 Stata Conference 7, Stata Users Group.

. . . but only the abstract is available. Also, I found no material on the 2018 conference program contents. I have emailed the author, .but while waiting for a reply it's possible other Stata Users may know of module that specifically based on Tukey's EDA. Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

At the following URL

https://www.stata.com/meeting/columbus18/

in the entry for the presentation you cite, below the abstract is a link to the PowerPoint presentation which I will copy here

https://wbuchanan.github.io/stataConference2018/#/

and clicking on eda on the title page takes you the the root level of the github repository for the eda package established by the author wbuchanan a frequent contributor here.

Some of my commands are Tukeyish in flavour, such as

binsm bin smoothing and summary on scatter plots
diagsm diagonal smoothing
doublesm double smoothing
fractileplot smoothing with distribution function predictors
lvalues letter value calculation
modeldiag model diagnostics after regression-type commands
multqplot multiple quantile plots
pairplot plots of paired observations
polarsm polar smoothing
shorth descriptive statistics based on shortest halves
skewplot skewness plots
stemplot stem-and-leaf plots
stripplot strip plots
trimmean trimmed means as descriptive statistics
trimplot plots of trimmed means

search will find locations, which are also given in njc_stuff from SSC.
