Quantile-quantile plot for data vs fitted beta distribution ------------------------------------------------------------
^qbeta4^ varname [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [ ^,^ ^a^lpha^(^#^)^ ^b^eta^(^#^)^ ^gr^id graph_options ]
Description -----------
^qbeta4^ plots the quantiles of varname against the quantiles of a two-parameter beta distribution with shape parameters alpha and beta. By default, alpha and beta are taken from S_2 and S_3, which is where ^beta4^ puts maximum likelihood estimates of them.
Note: this is the original version of ^qbeta^, written for Stata 4. Users of Stata 8 up should switch to ^qbeta^.
Options -------
^alpha(^#^)^ sets alpha to #.
^beta(^#^)^ sets beta 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 --------
. ^beta4 hail^ . ^qbeta4 hail^

Alan Feiveson pointed out that ^invfprob()^ could be used to obtain the inverse of the beta distribution function.
