1. Teffects
Propensity score stabilized IPW
Propensity score matching with other matching techniques(Kernel matching etc,...)

2. Compartmental models in epidemiology
Parameter estimation for SIR, SEIR, SEIRS, etc
Simulation for SIR, SEIR, SEIRS, etc
There is "Epimodels" for Stata, but it is limited ability to estimate parameters and simulate various versions of epidemiological models.

In semipar, it would be nice if the scatter came before the fit so that the line sits on top of the scatter. I've forced it myself, but would prefer it be embedded in the code.

Inclusion of Bayesian VAR in Stata 17 is a welcome addition. However, like in traditional VAR, the conditional forecasting using `actuals' is missing. Would like this feature to be included in Bayes var command.

getting standardized coefficients from svy: regress (similar as what we had in the regress, beta options)

[Fahad Mirza]

Not sure if this is a useful suggestion, but would be really nice if Stata allows users to save multiple tabs within the Do File. Not only this, but then be able to refer those tabs while executing a dofile.

I wish etable and collect functions provide a choice of journal style, similar to the Endnote software's output style. Currently, it is time consuming to write the code to generate the regression table I want.

Stata regression commands that employ transformed variables (e.g., -xtreg-, -areg-, etc.) should offer the option to output/save somewhere the transformed versions of the variables.

Sergio Correia, whose -reghdfe- by now is probably more widely used than Stata's native -xtreg- and -areg-, would do a great service if his -reghdfe- offers the option to output the transformed variables.

I think you can do this with -hdfe-

Based on the discussion today at

https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...nual-with-loop

I would like to see the output of help limits explain that these two lines

   # of lines in a program                    3,500              3,500
   # of bytes in a program                  135,600            135,600

also apply to the number of lines and bytes between open and close braces, e.g. within a foreach loop.

Essentially frames should behave more-or-less as files do. My biggest frustration with frames is that they are not nearly as flexible as files are. This is very basic data processing stuff that can be done easily in other programming environments, but is a real headache with Stata. For example:

• appending frames together should be easy
• merging/crossing/joining frames should be easy. frlink is just not very good.
• should be easy to add batches of observations to an existing frame, not simply doing it one at a time, like frame post does.

I think this has been mentioned elsewhere in this forum, but I want to reiterate those points.

Support for pooling proportions in the meta suite (e.g. incorporation of Marc Arbyn's metaprop), please

With a little work to calculate your own effect size and standard error (e.g., the logit of the proportion and the standard error), you can feed this into the meta suite. The same applies if you had a single group mean, or whatever else.

Furthermore, note that the user-written metan package (currently v4.05 29nov2021) now natively handles proportions, among much else.

Regarding inserting commas between tokens in a macro value:

Clyde in #302 specifically mentioned tokens containing embedded blanks, such as the following example, which breaks the sample code in #305, although that may be just a matter of getting compound quotation marks set properly in the mata command, which I have been unable to do.

. local t `"This is a "multi word token" within a string"'

. macro list _t
_t:             This is a "multi word token" within a string

The expected result would be

This,is,a,"multi word token",within,a,string

if I understand his wishes correctly.

But beyond that, I think he's making the case, with which I agree, that any such capability should be a naturally discoverable element of Stata's macro commands.

Re: Clyde Schechter in #302: I'm not 100% sure I'm understanding but does this accomplish what you want:

loc t="This is a long string"
mata st_local("sc",invtokens(tokens("`t'"),","))
di "`sc'"

One last off-topic post to close the discussion regarding community contributed packages hosted at UCLA, begun above at #289.

Thanks to the help of our friends at StataCorp, the packages now hosted at UCLA in https://stats.oarc.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ado/analysis are included in the nightly search indexing. Packages can be installed in the usual fashion of clicking on the package name in the search results and then clicking on "click here to install". Anyone experiencing the results like the following from ado update

   [20] fstar at http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ado/analysis:
      server not responding or package is no longer available

can resolve the issue by using ado uninstall to remove the copy installed from the defunct URL and then reinstall the package as described above or using

. net install fstar, from(https://stats.oarc.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ado/analysis)
checking fstar consistency and verifying not already installed...
installing into /Users/lisowskiw/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/...
installation complete.
