Speaking Stata: Graphing distributions
Abstract. Graphing univariate distributions is central to both statistical graphics,
in general, and Stata’s graphics, in particular. Now that Stata 8 is
out, a review of official and user-written commands is timely. The emphasis
here is on going beyond what is obviously and readily available, with
pointers to minor and major trickery and various user-written commands. For
plotting histogram-like displays, kernel-density estimates and plots based on
distribution functions or quantile functions, a large variety of choices is
now available to the researcher.
