Probability plot for data compared with fitted Weibull distribution -------------------------------------------------------------------
^pweibull4^ varname [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [ ^,^ ^b(^#^)^ ^c(^#^)^ ^gr^id graph_options ]
Description -----------
^pweibull4^ produces a probability plot for varname compared with a two-parameter Weibull distribution with scale parameter b and shape parameter c. By default, b and c are taken from S_2 and S_3, which is where ^wbull^ puts maximum likelihood estimates of them.
The probability density function is
c c - 1 c f(x) = - (x / b) exp(- (x / b) ) b
for x >= 0, b > 0 and c > 0.
Note: this is the original version of ^pweibull^, written for Stata 4. Users of Stata 8 up should switch to ^pweibull^.
Options -------
^b(^#^)^ sets b to #.
^c(^#^)^ sets c to #.
^grid^ adds grid lines at the .05, .10, .25, .50, .75, .90, and .95 quantiles.
graph_options are any of the options allowed with ^graph, twoway^; see help for ^graph^.
Examples --------
