Stata module to analyze the distribution of digits
digdis tabulates the distribution of digits of the specified variables,
performs goodness-of-fit tests against a reference distribution and,
optionally, graphs the distributions. The default is to tabulate the first
(nonzero) digit and to test against Benford's law.
