Re: st: plot a normal distribution using stata

[John Antonakis <John.Antonakis@unil.ch>]

Try something like this:


Something like this?

/* Plot two normal distributions */
#delimit ;
graph twoway (function y=normalden(x,1,2), range(-10 20) lw(medthick))
             (function y=normalden(x,5,3), range(-10 20) lw(medthick)),
  title("Normal-Distribution comparison")
  xtitle("Normal", size(medlarge)) ytitle("")
  xlabel(-10(2)20)
  xscale(lw(medthick)) yscale(lw(medthick))
  legend(off)
  graphregion(fcolor(white));
#delimit cr
/* Stata code ends */

HTH,
J.
