Subject | st: Using the Prentice's 1974 generalized gamma distribution parametrization |
Date | Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:56:27 +0100 |
Dear Statalisters, I need to use the Generalized Gamma distribution as parametrized by Princeton's 1974:"A log gamma model and its maximum likelihood estimation" to my thesis project, but until this point I was not able to find a way to develop such an approach in Stata. I know Streg is able to compute a generalized gamma distribution from data, but as far as I understand it does not use the q=k(-1/2) parametrization used in the mentioned paper. Thanks a lot in advance! Francisco Augusto * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
