In Stata 8, there is a new command called nlcom where you can
define your parameters for a given distribution. I have the
following code for defining the Weibull distribution and I
haven't been able to decipher from help files or online how to
interpret it. Does anyone know what the code following each
parameter (theta and beta) means in Stata 8? I would like to
know how it relates back to the pdf of the Weibull
distribution. Thanks for any help.
nlcom (theta:exp([ln_p]_b[_cons])) (beta:exp(-_b[_cons]))
