Welcome to the high-frequency-checks wiki! These Stata templates are designed and maintained by the Research & Knowledge Management team at Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA). They are intended for use by IPA Staff and designed for population-based survey research and randomized impact evaluations. For help implementing the templates or if you'd like to contribute to on-going development, please contact [email protected].
The high-frequency-check templates make extensive use of Stata's excellent Excel modules in order to create outputs that are easy to use and disseminate. Unfortunately, these features are only available in Stata 13.0 or later. Therefore, the user must have Stata 13.0 or later installed on their machine prior to running the high-frequency-check templates. IPA employees with older versions of Stata should contact IT for access to a newer version.
The high-frequency-check templates rely on a series of user-written Stata commands. For convenience, these commands have been wrapped up in a single Stata package (ipacheck) located in the ado folder. To install, open Stata and enter one of the following:
/* option #1 - command line install */
net install ipacheck, all replace from("C:/directory/to/ado/")
/* option #2 - GUI */
net from "C:/directory/to/ado/"
