Probability plot for data compared with fitted gamma distribution -----------------------------------------------------------------

^pgamma4^ varname [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [ ^,^ ^a^lpha^(^#^)^ ^b^eta^(^#^ > )^ ^gr^id graph_options ]

Description -----------

^pgamma4^ produces a probability plot for varname compared with a two-parameter gamma distribution with shape parameter alpha and scale parameter beta. By default, alpha and beta are taken from S_alpha and S_beta, which is where ^gamma4^ puts maximum likelihood estimates of them.

Note: this is the original version of ^pgamma^, written for Stata 4. Users of Stata 8 up should switch to ^pgamma^.

Options -------

^alpha(^#^)^ sets alpha to #.

^beta(^#^)^ sets beta to #.

^grid^ is equivalent to ^yline(.25,.5,.75) xline(.25,.5,.75)^.

graph_options are any of the options allowed with ^graph, twoway^; see help for ^graph^.

Example -------

. ^gamma4 precip^ . ^pgamma4 precip^
