I've been toying around with the excellent GB2 packages put together by Nick Cox & Stephen Jenkins and was hoping someone could help out with a slight issue I'm facing.
Is there a way to fix the process so that I can estimate the same predictions for the same people over multiple runs? That is, when I run the following code it is not the case that x1=x2 (even when setting a seed).
gb2fit inc, stats
qgb2 inc, gen(x1)
gb2fit inc, stats
qgb2 inc, gen(x2)
Ideally, I'd like to generate the same predictions for each person if I run my program multiple times.
Also, does anyone know how to construct a picture of the pdf of the GB2 distribution?
Thanks and Happy New Year,
jon
