| Subject | st: How to test whether data follows Exp distribution? |
| Date | Wed, 7 Jul 2010 00:08:06 +0000 |
I am trying to find if the variable I have follows an exponential distribution. Tried to locate some goodness of fit tests but wasn't successful. After some long search I found the command ksmirnov. However, the help doesn't offer much on how to use it. They have an illustration for testing if a variable x follows normal distribution. ksmirnov x = normal((x-r(mean))/r(sd)) Any suggestions? * * 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/
