{title:Generate random deviates from an inverse Gaussian distribution}

{p 8 14}{cmd:geninvgauss} {it:newvar} 
	[{cmd:if} {it:exp}] [{cmd:in} {it:range}] [{cmd:,}
	{cmd:mu(}{it:#}|{it:varname}{cmd:)}
	{cmd:lambda(}{it:#}|{it:varname}{cmd:)}

{title:Description}

{p}{cmd:geninvgauss} generates data {it:newvar} from an inverse 
Gaussian distribution.
such that the mean is {cmd:mu} and the 
variance is {cmd:mu}^3/{cmd:lambda}.   

{title:Options}

{p 0 4}{cmd:mu(}{it:#}|{it:varname}{cmd:)} specifies the first parameter, 
mu, either constant or a variable.

{p 0 4}{cmd:lambda(}{it:#}|{it:varname}{cmd:)} specifies the second parameter, 
lambda, either constant or a variable.

{title:Example}

{p 8 12}{inp:. geninvgauss x, mu(2) lambda(3)}{p_end}
{p 8 12}{inp:. summarize x}{p_end}
