Abstract

-quantil2- produces a plot of the ordered values of varlist against the so-called plotting positions, which are essentially quantiles of a uniform distribution on [0,1] for the same number of values. -quantil2- generalises -quantile- to allow multiple variables, or a single variable classified by another variable; plotting positions other than (i - 0.5) / n; and a wider variety of graphical choices. Installation of -_gpp- is needed. This is version 1.3.1 of the software, revised for Stata version 7 compatibility.
