{title:Description}

{pstd}
{cmd:threshkitdata} reports which of the THRESHKIT example files are in the
current directory, and with {opt get} fetches them. It is a convenience
wrapper around {helpb net get}; the files themselves are what matter.

{pstd}
This package carries four datasets and one guided tour. It is of no use on its
own -- install {helpb threshkit} as well.


{marker why}{...}
{title:Why this is a separate package}

{pstd}
A Stata {cmd:.pkg} file can list at most {bf:100} files, and THRESHKIT's
commands, help pages and compiled Mata library come to exactly 100. The
datasets and the tour therefore could not be listed in the same package, so
they are published here instead. Nothing is missing from {helpb threshkit} as
a result: every command and every help page is in that package and works
without these files. They are needed only to {it:run the examples} in the help
and the tour.

{pstd}
These are {bf:ancillary} files. {cmd:ssc install} never places ancillary files
in the adopath -- that is true of every package that ships data, not something
particular to this one -- so they are fetched into the current directory
instead:

{phang2}{cmd:. ssc install threshkitdata}{p_end}
{phang2}{cmd:. threshkitdata, get}{p_end}

{pstd}
or equivalently {cmd:net get threshkitdata}.

the questions actually arise{p_end}
{p2colreset}{...}

{pstd}
Each is stored from the {bf:original author's text file} rather than imported
through another language: a CSV round trip through R costs eight significant
digits, which is enough to break a numerical comparison against a published
table.
