Now I want to create a variable Y which has the same frequency structure
as "vname". The below piece of code works fine...
generate x=uniform()*100
.generate y=-8 if x<6.49
.replace y=1 if (x>6.49 & x<34.45)
.replace y=2 if (x>34.45 & x<64.73)
.replace y=3 if (x>64.73 & x<100)
...though I am convinced that it could be done more efficient than I
have done it. But that's not the point: my problem is that I have
inputted the cumulative frequencies of the TABULATE (i.e., 6.49, 34.45,
64.73) directly into the above commands. This is no good, for any change
of the cumulative frequencies would require changing of the whole code
by hand.
So, how does one bring the cumulative frequencies of a TABULATE in a
local macro, analogous to r(mean) or r(p50) in SUMMARY?
Many thanks!
