EXPLIST: Stata module to generate an exponentially-spaced list of numbers

Roger Newson

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: -explist- is a program to generate an exponentially-spaced list of numbers. The syntax of explist is modelled on that of Nick Cox's listutil package, which seems to offer all kinds of lists except exponentially-spaced ones. The list can be stored in a macro variable and used as an -xlabel- or -ylabel- list by the -graph- command when the -xlog- or -ylog- option is used. -explist- takes, as input, a list of numbers x_1, ... , x_n, and creates, as output, a list of numbers y_1, ... , y_n, derived exponentially from the input list, so that, for each i, y_i = scale*base^x_i where base and scale are numbers given by options of the same names.
