So the first thing I would do is try to locate the package. One of the files in st is attk. So try Code:. Dear Clyde, Thanks again. It still didn't work, Code:. And if that doesn't work, you can just go to that directory in Windows Explorer and delete the. That package is pretty simple: it has no auxiliary files, so deleting the.

However, avoid installing any package that is directly tied to an article in the Stata Journal or the Stata Technical Bulletin. These packages contain the program as it was described in the article and are not updated. Look for another package containing the program that is not tied to an article and, if one exists, install that instead. The package which does is simply called ice. As the author of ice Patrick Royston makes further changes and improvements, the ice package will be updated accordingly.
Getting the right version of ice is particularly important because multiply imputed data sets created by one version cannot be used by different versions--and the output of older versions can't be analyzed using mim at all.
The newer versions of ice also include more capabilities than the older ones. Unfortunately, the ice package you want to install isn't trivial to find--it's about a third of the way through the very long list of results you get from findit ice.
However, packages are usually named after the main ado file they contain, and that file is normally listed first in the package description.
While few user-written programs are updated as frequently as ice , it's still important to get the latest versions of any user-written programs you install. Sometimes updates will include important bug fixes, though the SSC archive has quality control measures in place to try to catch bugs before the program is distributed.
The adoupdate command notes where each package was downloaded from and goes back to that location to see if a more recent version is available. If there is, you can install the latest version by typing:. You can remove a package by typing. For example, suppose you downloaded some earlier version of ice that was associated with a Stata Journal article.
Just typing. A user who wants the latest version of a package should download from SSC, if the user's version of Stata is ccompatible with the latest version of the package. The download facility on this website is mainly provided for users of superseded versions of Stata , who need to download a superseded version of the package, written in the user's Stata version, or in an earlier version.
Whichever download source is used, the user may want to download the latest versions of all the packages, or at least the latest version of each package that can work on the user's version of Stata. This is because these packages are often used together, as a dialect of the Stata language. I have therefore provided do-files to describe, install and uninstall these maximal sets of package versions from each source.
These do-files can be downloaded from the sections of this page corresponding to the two download sources, and then run in Stata using the run or do commands. Users who have installed the full set of packages for their versions of Stata may also write do-files to be run using the dolog package, taking advantage of this and other installed packages. I have therefore provided template or crib do-files for Stata versions 9 or higher. These can be downloaded from the table below.
