Abstract: invgammafit fits a two-parameter inverse gamma distribution with a shape parameter and a scale parameter, optionally as dependent on covariates. qinvgamma and pinvgamma plot q-q and p-p plots for observed data versus results from a fitted inverse gamma. Various Mata functions for the inverse gamma are also included.

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 8.1 (9 for Mata functions)
