QBETA: Stata module to generate quantile-quantile plot for data vs fitted beta distribution

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: qbeta plots the quantiles of a variable against the quantiles of a two-parameter beta distribution. Fitting is done quietly by betafit, which should be installed separately. These programs all require Stata 8. Also included is the previous version, now renamed as qbeta4, which may be used in Stata 4 through 7. Estimation may be performed using beta4, available as part of the betafit package.

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 8.0 (4.0 for qbeta4)
Keywords: graphics; beta distribution; quantile-quantile plots (search for similar items in EconPapers)
Date: Written 1998-07-30
Note: This module may be installed from within Stata by typing "ssc install qbeta". Windows users should not attempt to download these files with a web browser.
