Unable to download diagt.pkg . Please help

[Ankit Bhardwaj]

Dear STATA USERS,
I want to install diagt. pkg for sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV calculation for my data set. I cannot download as it is showing r(1) error. It is happening again and again. Please help.

You've reported difficulties with installation at least twice previously.

In this case the package exists and I just installed it. So, all the problems appear to be your end.

I can think of three possibilities.

1. You are using a workplace (e.g. University) copy of Stata in which case you may need to talk to your workplace IT support.

2. You are using a copy of Stata you purchased yourself on a computer of your own. You are then your own IT support.

3. Neither #1 nor #2 is true and you are using an unofficial copy of Stata.

If #3 applies all bets are off but otherwise you can ask StataCorp technical support for advice if you provide licencing information.

Also, as advised in a previous thread

help netio

gives important details. For a while (some years ago) I needed to give information to Stata under four headings to be able to download from SSC.

 Turn on or off the use of a proxy server

        set httpproxy {on|off} [, init]


    Set proxy host name

        set httpproxyhost ["]name["]


    Set the proxy port number

        set httpproxyport #


    Turn on or off proxy authorization

        set httpproxyauth {on|off}

Hi sir,
I want to inform you that I am using a licensed STATA 18 BE on my laptop for my official use. Previously I failed to download SSC also due to the same error.

That excludes one possibility but I can't add to my previous answer.

That excludes one possibility but I can't add to my previous answer except to spell out that

creturn list

will tell you about your current network settings. Wouldn't it be disturbing if we could tell you what they are?

After running this command, it shows below messages

It's possible that you may need to go through an http proxy. I can't say more. As in #2 I suggest talking to StataCorp technical support.

[Ankit Bhardwaj]

Thank you, sir. I have already sent an email regarding this to StataCorp. Is there customer care number, too?

[Nick Cox]

You can phone them, but you won't get a faster answer that way.

StataCorp is 10.5 hours behind your time in New Delhi, so it is now about 08:00 there.

Hi,
I want to calculate sensitivity,specificity,PPV,NPV.+likelihood,- likelihhod ratio for my data set. I have transferred the data sheet from SPSS to STATA. My disease staus was coded in SPSS file into 1 (disease positive) and 2 (disease negative) and test variable- 1 (positive) and 2 (negative). After transferring into STATA, it is categorizing positive and negative automatically for disease and normal and abnormal under test variable thus giving me a wrong statistics. Kindly advise
