backfit - bigarch - bs1
backfit the estimates for the components of an additive (partial linear) model are calculated. If the local linear smoother is applied, the first derivatives are calculated as well, additionally the second derivatives if the local quadratic smoother is chosen.
barchart shows a barchart for the selected discrete variables. One or more group variables (disctrete type) can be selected.
barchartrech computes the boxplot of selected variables
barchartrech computes the barchart of selected variables
berlin draws the contours of Berlin.
betrnormE Auxiliary routine for ricfil: calculates the E [ |X| (|x|<t) ], X an n-dim standard normal variate
betrnormF Auxiliary routine for ricfil: calculates the cdf of |X|, X an n-dim standard normal variate
betrnormV Auxiliary routine for ricfil: calculates E [ |X|^2 (|x|<t) ], X an n-dim standard normal variate
bfgs Searches the global minimum of a function.
bgen auxiliary quantlet for full VAR model analysis
bigarch Estimates the BEKK (Baba, Engle, Kraft, Kroner) volatility representation for bivariate conditionally heteroscedastic time series and evaluates the maximum of the quasi log likelihood function
bindata Bins a p-dimensional data set x, starting from the origin orig in steps of d.
bitree calculates option prices using the Binomial tree
bootstrap This macro gives bootstrap replications of different kind for models without known distribution of 'eps'
boxcox computes the Box-Cox transformation of x
boxcoxdens shows the change in the density before and after a Box-Cox transformation of x
boxcoxs performs a box-coxs transformation of the selected variables in ISTA. The transformed variables can replace the original ones or can be appended on the end of data.x. The type is set automatically to continuous.
boxplot shows a boxplot for the selected variables. One or more group variables (disctrete type) can be selected.
break Inside a switch statement break marks the end of a case block. The procedure is continued at the keyword endsw. It can be omitted.

bs1 calculates option prices using the Black and Scholes formula
