I tried to install RDrobust with the following command:
net install rdrobust, from(https://sites.google.com/site/rdpackages/rdrobust/stata) replace
I am given an error which recommends checking another website but the instructions are unclear. I know that it properly installs in Stata 14 but I only have access to Stata 13. Would one of the following solutions work to use the rdrobust package in Stata 13?
(1) Manually install the packages in Stata 13 from the files here?
(2) I read that this package had a major upgrade in 2016. Maybe it it possible to find the old link to upload the old package? Does someone know this?
I am using this for a class where the students only have access to a Stata 13 license.
Many thanks!
In Stata 15.1 the following is shown by search rdrobust

That's how to find the files. In Stata 13, you may need
search rdrobust, all
Then follow the latest link st0366_1 to install.
Trying to install from elsewhere is all too likely to lead to partial installs and/or installs in the wrong places, unless a user has a sound understanding of packages and adopath.
I have not checked on whether rdrobust will run in Stata 13.
