{title:The symmetric gamma function}

{p 8 14 2}{cmd:gamma} {it:list} [,{cmdab:w:eight}({it:string}) {cmdab:dis:play}]


{p 4 4 2}{it:list} is a list of the values to use.

{title:Description}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:gammasym} compute the values of the symmetric gamma function for all the possible level.

{title:Options}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:weight} defines weights for each value (by default, all the values have a weight of 1)

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:display} displays the value of the symmetric gamma function for each level.

{title:Example}

	{cmd:. gammasym -2.1 -1.5 -.7 -.6 1.1 1.00024 2.232447}

	{cmd:. gammasym .3 .4 -.1 -.5 0 .6 , weight(1 2 1 1 2 1)}

	{cmd:. gammasym 1 1 1 1 1 , w(1 2 3 4 5)}


{title:Outputs}

{p 4 4 2}{cmd:r(gamma#)} return the value of the symmetric gamma function at the level #.
