Abstract
xriml calculates cross-sectional reference intervals for yvar, which is assumed to follow one of 6 possible distributions. The parameters are estimated by maximum likelihood. If xvar is specified, reference intervals for yvar conditional on xvar are estimated. Typically, xvar is age. The parameters of the distribution are modelled as functions of xvar using fractional polynomials (see fracpoly). xripred calculates the survival, density and hazard functions according to the most recently-fitted xriml model. This is an update of a program published in STB-40. This is version 4.0.1 of the software, requiring Stata 8.0.
