Installation

First, the tool to install from GitHub is required. It can be installed by typing in the Stata command line:

which provides tools for installation. The package can be installed directly by typing

github install OlegBadunenko/sf-panel-1st-2nd-gen

The package can be installed without the github command:

net install xtsf1g2g, from("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OlegBadunenko/sf-panel-1st-2nd-gen/main")

Help

Help files after installation can be called as usual:

help xtsf1g
