How to install rdob

[Laura Kerkmann]

Dear Statlist community,
for an university assignment I need to replicate the findings of a paper (Meyersson, 2014).

The author used the rdob function by Imbens to calculate the optimal bandwidth.
However, I cannot find it in Stata anymore but I was able to download the respective ado file online.

Does anyone have an idea, how I can install this local saved ado file or another recommendation how to deal with optimal bandwidths?

Thank you very much and best regards,
Laura

You can save the ado file in your personal directory or plus/r, where Stata will find it. To see where these directories are located type:

sysdir
