Overview of new functionality made available during the first half of 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have developed and made available new functionality this spring, in collaboration with users. Below follows a quick summary of key functionality rolled out in this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased user-friendliness – more efficient workflows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During March we launched a range of big and small improvements<\/a> such as more intuitive error messages, more available help texts and printer friendly versions of script and command line outputs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outer join<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In April we launched a new import option outer_join<\/code> for increased flexibility in data merging<\/a>. This option is particularly useful when dealing with e.g. monthly employment data and other data where population changes occure frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outer join is also useful when combined with the reshape\/panel<\/code> commands made available in June (more on those below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplified recode of string variables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In May, the recode<\/code>-command was extended with support for recoding of string\/alphanumeric variables<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using recode for string variables can reduce script length and execution time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New variants of marginal effects available for logistical regressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After several user requests, we have launced support for more variants of marginal effects for logistic regressions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1 June we presented the new command oaxaca<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The command executes a Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition<\/a> to measure if there are systematic differences between two groups, e.g. men and women, and the differences are further decomposed into an explained and an unexplained component. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New recode tool <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Later in June, a new recode tool was released. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tool simplifies working with large and\/or standardized recode expressions<\/a>, and supports uploading correspondence tables in CSV format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transformation between wide and long data format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During June we also made available two new transformation commands; reshape-to-panel<\/code> and reshape-from-panel<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These commands let users restructure data from wide to long format<\/a>, and from long to wide<\/a>, respectively. This pair of commands solves a set of problems earlier reported by users, and opens for increased flexibility enabled by the ability to juggle data between the two orientations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
