Speaking Stata: Time of day

Stata Journal, 2006, vol. 6, issue 1, pages 124-137

Abstract: Many problems in statistical analysis include time-of-day variables, but Stata offers limited support for time-of-day calculations. Support is needed for dates with times, times alone, and durations or timings. This article presents two new programs as general utilities to convert back and forth between string and numeric representations.
