Abstract

pgamma produces a probability plot compared with a two-parameter gamma distribution with a shape parameter and a scale parameter. Fitting is done quietly by gammafit, which should be installed separately. These programs all require Stata 8. Also included is the previous version, now renamed as pgamma4, which may be used in Stata 4 through 7. Estimation may be performed using gamma4, available as part of the gammafit package. Note: there is no connection between this package and official Stata command gamma.
