previewing the results files and frames
Currently, the program previewing the results files / frames, prev_rfile
is only issued before mpitb est
terminates. It may be come a stand-alone tool at some point.
potential features
- allow to apply to (i) current data, (ii) specific results frame in memory, (iii) file on disk
- optionally show time periods when estimations have been carried out (if timestamps have been set)
- show summary of content (measures, loa, etc)
- custom data characteristics as eg in polished gmpi results file (# countries, countries w/o disaggr., ...)
- show type and maybe additional variables
- maybe consistency checks are possible (certain fields non-empty (e.g., measure, loa) and no duplicates for default or provided variables)
Potentially, this tool may also contain routines to check the structure of the results file (#45) and return results in r()
. If so, an option to omit any output (and just return information may be useful).
