We are pleased to introduce the new features of StataNow 19.5.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

1) Execute Selected Lines in the Do-file Editor<\/strong>
In the Do-file Editor<\/strong>, multiple selected lines can now be executed directly. After execution, the cursor automatically jumps to the next executable code line or block, skipping comments or blank lines.

2) Local Backups of Do-files<\/strong>
The Do-file Editor<\/strong> can now save backup files to an operating system-specific directory on the local computer \u2013 instead of in the same folder as the original document. You can find this option in the editor’s advanced settings.

3) Enhanced Grouping in Graphs<\/strong>

You can use various methods, such as IPW regression adjustment<\/strong>, kappa-weighted approaches<\/strong>, or covariate-balancing<\/strong>. Additionally, Assumption Checks<\/strong> like Overlap and Balance are integrated.
