For installation, type the following command in Stata:
net from http://www-personal.umich.edu/~nwasi/programs
net install stnd_compname.pkg
Update on August 30, 2018—The foregoing URLs seem broken. Please use the following command to install the package:
net from http://www.stata-journal.com/software/sj15-3
net install dm0082.pkg, replace
net get dm0082.pkg, replace
Reference see https://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=dm0082.
while using the package, I receive this error message
“No pattern file found in c:\ado\plus/p/”
Do you mind sharing the content of package so I can manually add the pattern file
Thanks
Hi Mohamed! I have encountered the same problem. But I think I have solved it.
Basically, you need to find where the pattern files have been located after you net install the command. Search from your local folders the following list of pattern files:
P10 namecomp patterns.csv
P21 spchar specialcases.csv
P22 spchar remove.csv
P23 spchar rplcwithspace.csv
P30 std entity.csv
P40 std commonwrd name.csv
P50 std commonwrd all.csv
P60 std numbers.csv
P70 std NESW.csv
P81 std smallwords all.csv
P90 entity patterns.csv
and then copy them all to c:\ado\plus/p/
You will find the list in the link (Page 9 of the Pdf file) below: https://www.aaronflaaen.com/uploads/3/1/2/4/31243277/wasi_flaaen_statarecordlinkageutilities.pdf
Hope this works as well. 🙂
