Description

    mcmcsummarize calculates summary statistics of draws from Markov chains
    in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation.

    The command assumes that you begin with a dataset in memory containing
    sequences of draws from one or more Markov chains.  Each variable in 
    varlist should contain draws of a different scalar estimand.  The order
    of the draws is irrelevant.

    The command saves results in the file specified by saving(filename).
    Each observation in the results file corresponds to a different scalar
    estimand.  Each variable in the results file contains a different summary
    statistic.

    By default, the summary statistics are the mean, the standard deviation,
    and all of the percentiles reported by summarize, detail.  To obtain
    additional percentiles, use addpctiles(numlist). To skip the percentiles
    reported by summarize, detail, specify nopctiles.
