Betreff: Re: st: RE: Re: Examining sampling distribution
Dear Nick,
Thanks for your email and help. I am following your first suggestion to get
what I want. I am using gammaden function to draw the chi2 curve that I need
since Stata does not have similar function for chi2 distribution, i.e.
chi2den. I will let you know when I successfully completed the task.
Nick, I have a further question if you do not mind. I came across DPPLOT
program written by you. Could you please let me know where I can obtain this
from.
Kind regards
Babak
