KHB wins major award

[Richard Williams]

The American Sociological Association Methodology Section Innovation Award has just been given to Kristian Karlson, Anders Holm, and Richard Breen, for the KHB method of comparing coefficients across nonlinear probability models.

The honor is richly deserved, in my opinion. I think the KHB method is ingeniously clever and extremely helpful.

The khb app (written by Ulrich Kohler and Kristian Karlson) can be downloaded from SSC. Stata 17 is required. As Nick Cox has pointed out in another thread, if you have an older version of Stata, older versions of khb are also available from the Stata Journal.

KHB can be a little hard to understand. A recent publication of mine tries to provide a non-technical explanation of why and when you may need it and how it works:

Hello Richard - thank you for the paper above - so helpful for understanding the benefits and application of khb. A quick question - in table 8 and table 9 in the paper, you report 'VarYstar' and 'SDYsta' - would you mind explaining what this is? I don't see it as part of the khb output.

thank you,
Joanna
