if you have observations that are below the limit of detection (LOD) you need to account for them in the distribution. A recent article is by
Gillespie, B. W., Chen, Q. REichert, H. , Franzblau, A., Hedgeman, E., Lepkowski, J., Adriaens, P., Demond, A., Luksemburg, W., and Garabrant, D. H. "Estimating Population Distributions When Some DAta
Are Below a Limit of Detection by Using a REverse Kaplan-Meier Estimator" _Epidemiology_ v.21 (4) July Supplement 2010 S64-S70.
It might be nice to see this in Stata.

*--------- begin example -----------
sysuse nlsw88, clear
bys grade: egen med = median(wage)
by grade : gen byte mark = _n == 1
twoway scatter wage grade || ///
line med grade if mark, sort
*---------- end example ------------
(For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see:

Hope this helps,
