Major Upgrades

This package was first released in Winter 2019, and had one major upgrade in Summer 2021.

• Summer 2021 new features include: (i) generalized linear models (logit, Probit, etc.) binscatter; (ii) quantile regression binscatter; (iii) new generic specification and shape restriction hypothesis testing function (now including Lp metrics); (iv) multi-group comparison of binscatter estimators; (v) generic point evaluation of covariate-adjusted binscatter; (vi) speed improvements and optimization. A complete list of upgrades is here: UPGRADES
