Abstract

betafit fits a two-parameter beta distribution, optionally as dependent on covariates. Stata 8 is required. Also included in this package is beta4, which also fits a two-parameter beta distribution, although to a single variable only. That may be used in Stata 4 through 7. This routine was previously circulated as beta.
