Abstract

ggtaxonomy is a postestimation command that creates a graph for an easy interpretation of the shape and scale parameters of a parametric survival regression with gamma distribution. When ggtax is ran after streg varlist, distribution(gamma) it takes the shape and scale parameters of the model and plots them with their corresponding confidence ellipse in the taxonomic map of hazard functions for the generalized gamma (GG) distribution (Cox, Schneider and Muñoz; 2007). This is an improved version of the ggtax command.
