Subject   st: Percent distribution using the pweight

Dear list users,

I want to create the percent distribution (both percent and frequency are
needed).  I need sth. like:


. tab hhldpov1
    Poverty |
  status on |
    monthly |
 threshold: |
          1 |
(<100%),2{1 |
00%,200%),3 |
    {200%)' |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
          1 |     14,062       13.57       13.57
          2 |     20,343       19.63       33.20
          3 |     69,210       66.80      100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
      Total |    103,615      100.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the tab command doesn't allow the pweight.

So I did.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

. table hhldpov1 [pweight =whfnwgt], format(%12.0g)

------------------------
Poverty   |
status on |
monthly   |
threshold |
: 1       |
(<100%),2 |
{100%,200 |
%),3{200% |
)'        |        Freq.
----------+-------------
        1 |  5.81216e+11
        2 |  8.55400e+11
        3 |  3.01133e+12
------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This only shows the frequency but not the percent.  I know I can simply
calculate the percent distribution by excel, but it would be nice to have
it directly from the Stata output.  Can somebody help me with this?

BTW, is the fweight the inverse of the pweight?



Many thanks,
Ying
