They are intended for use by IPA Staff and designed for population-based survey research and randomized impact evaluations.

Software Requirements

The high-frequency-checks 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-checks templates. IPA employees with older versions of Stata should contact IT for access to a newer version.

Installation

Download the latest version of high-frequency-checks

• https://github.com/PovertyAction/high-frequency-checks/releases

The high-frequency-checks 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/"
