Title

cmaxuse -- Access Cmax Stata datasets

Syntax

cmaxuse
filename
[
,
nodesc
clear
]

Description

cmaxuse provides easy access to a number of Stata-format datasets used
in Prof. Chris Maxwell's courses.
If you are told to use the NFLtix.txt dataset, give the command cmaxuse NFLtix.txt.
If you receive an error message, check the web page listing
these datasets on the CMax web site,
http://www.cmaxxsports.com/data/datasets.html

If a Stata data file has been saved in .zip format on the server (usually because
it is very large), you may give the filename, including .zip, and the zip file
will be copied to your working directory, unzipped, and read into Stata.

Options

nodesc specifies that the dataset should not be described after loading.
By default, the describe command is automatically issued after the dataset is
loaded.

clear specifies that you want to clear Stata's memory before loading
the new dataset.

Examples

. cmaxuse NFLtix.txt

. cmaxuse NFLtix.txt, clear

. cmaxuse NFLtix.txt, nodesc

. cmaxuse NFLtix.dta.zip, clear
