Open Source Software Tools
- PubHarvester: An open-source software tool designed to retrieve scientific publications data from MEDLINE.
- SC/Gen and Second Degree Report: Two open-source software tools to create the two-degree, egocentric coauthorship network for a set of "superstar" scientists.
- Scientific Distance: An open-source software tool designed to calculate distance between any pair of scientists in "ideas space" based on the overlap of the MeSH keywords in their publications.
Statistical Softwarextnbreg sucks! My econometric pet peeve: papers that diss poisson models in favor of negative binomial specifications. According to
the man, QML Poisson should be our workhorse in many microeconometric estimation problems, even if the (positive) dependent variable takes on non-integer values
(see
this paper and also
this one for an explanation). Inspired by
Tim Simcoe's initial effort,
xtqmlp implements QML standard errors for the "fixed effects Poisson model" of
Hausman, Hall, and Griliches (1984) in Stata.
