Update of nb_adjust available on SSC

[Dirk Enzmann]

Thanks to Kit Baum (as always) an update of nb_adjust is available on SSC. The update issues a warning if all values are missing. Additionally, it removes characteristics from the new variable inherited from the original variable.

nb_adjust adjusts or removes outliers of a variable assumed to have a negative binomial distribution.

To update type

ssc install nb_adjust, replace

You can get more information by typing

ssc type nb_adjust.sthlp

I had to modify the link to the reference of Enzmann (2003) as given in the help file (.sthlp) because some corrections were necessary. The correct link is:

Enzmann (2023). Reporting Rates as an Indicator of Ignorance: Issues of Measurement and Design. Hamburg: University of Hamburg, Institute of Criminal Sciences. [http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.20133.68328]

The next update of nb_adjust will have the correct reference. Sorry for any inconvenience.
