Re: st: Xaxis transformation after logging variable

[Francisco Augusto <francisco.augusto.7@gmail.com>]

Thank you very much for the help and for the valuable repairs to my
way of writing to the Statalist.

I will look for the code by Stephen Jenkins with/without coauthors and
I will leave the complete references missing from my last email for
future reference:

Prentice 1974, "A log gamma model and its maximum likelihood
Estimation", Biometrika, 61(3), pp 539-544
Lawless 1980, "Inference in the generalized gamma and log gamma
distributions" Technometrics, 22(3) pp 409-419
Cabral & Mata 2003, "On the Evolution of the firm size distribution:
Facts and Theory", The American Economic Review, 93(4), pp1075-1090.
