Hi Dr. Shah — I’m not sure how arduous the process is for adding support for various community-written commands to asdocx, so I’m hesitant to make ad hoc requests every time I find a program I’m using that isn’t supported by Asdocx. However, it strikes me as potentially useful to have a running list of these non-urgent community-contributed program requests that could be added on an ongoing basis as it fits your own timeline and the overall strategic vision of asdocx development as a whole. What do you think?
I like the idea of creating such a list.
Adding support for user-written programs to asdocx can be straightforward if the program produces its results in the form of macros, scalars, or matrices. However, if this is not the case, it would be equivalent to writing the user’s program from scratch. I am always available to assist other asdocx users who would like to add support for community-contributed packages to asdocx. I can share the template file and provide guidance on how to use it to add programs to asdocx.That’s good news! I think keeping things simple (i.e. not re-writing things from scratch) is the way to go. Perhaps this thread can serve as the “running list”?
If that works for you, here’s my first contribution (and again, not time sensitive! Simply a “nice to have”):
fre
mrtab
tabcount
missings
statmis
I am happy to announce that asdocx now supports fre program that is written by Ben Jann. See details here https://asdocx.com/use-fre-with-asdocx-in-stata/
You are awesome. Thanks!
I am happy to announce that asdocx now supports mrtab program that is written by Ben Jann. Adding mrtab was quite a laborious task. I had to assemble the result matrices from various components, which required a significant amount of time. See details here https://asdocx.com/asdocx-with-mrtab-tabulates-multiple-responses-in-stata-asdoc/
Thank you! So great.
Unbelievably responsive — thank you!
Hi Dr. Shah — I had the opportunity to try out the
asdocx missings report
command, and I got an error regarding one of themissings report
options:identify()
. The error reads: “option identify() not allowed”. I know that not all subcommands ofmissings
are featured, but does that also incluse certainmissings report
options?Please post the code that you used. I searched for the
identify
option in missings , but did not find anything related to it.Hi there — this is from the help file:
missings report
issues a report on the number of missing values in varlist. By default, counts of missings are given by variables; optionally, counts are given by observations. Options: ... ... observations (missings report) indicates counting of missing values by observations, not the default of counting by variables. ... ... identify(varlist) or identify(varname) (missings report, missings list, and missings table) insists on showing varlist or varname in the display of results. This can be especially useful to show (for example) identifier variables, which typically will not be missing, or key categorical variables such as education or gender. With missings report, observations and missings list, varlist is included in the list results. With missings table, varname is used to produce a two-way table in contrast to a one-way table; two or more variables may not be specified.So, the code I’ve used is:
missings report [variable of interest], obs identify(studyid)
Seems to work well without the
asdocx
prefix.I was previously using an older version of missings that I downloaded from SSC. However, the latest version available on the Stata Journal website at
dm0085_2 from http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj20-4
has the new optionidentify()
. To get the updated version that works with asdocx, type the following in Stata command window:net install asdocx_missings, from(http://fintechprofessor.com) replace
After the update, the option
identify()
should work.webuse nlswork asdocx missings table, identify(race) replace

Hi Dr. Shah — any chance of support for community-contributed program
groups
