I wonder who came up with that name for a distribution. Since it is
not in the poster of univariate distributions (see
http://dx.doi.org/10.1198/000313008X270448), nor it is in Johnson &
Kotz encyclopedias, this distribution very likely does not generalize
as much as it promises. If there is no existing implementation, you
should write your own; that's what Stata is about.
