Dear Stata Guru's,
I want to compute geometric mean and SD from survey data. Here is an example:
. svy:mean lnbenz,over (sex)
(running mean on estimation sample)
Survey: Mean estimation
Number of strata = 13 Number of obs = 647 Number
of PSUs = 27 Population size = 1.5e+08
Design df = 14
_subpop_1: sex = 0. Male
_subpop_2: sex = 1. Female
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Linearized
Over | Mean Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
lnbenz |
_subpop_1 | .3884244 .2993531 -.2536241 1.030473
_subpop_2 | .1070038 .1907388 -.3020902 .5160979
--------------------------------------------------------------
I can manually type
Di exp(0.3884244)
For each of the category but I have to type hundreds of time since I
have several variables. I tried egenmore option but I couldn't find
how to use it with svy command. Can any help point me to the resource
to find more info? Is there program I can use to automate this
process? Ideally I would like Stata to run the survey command and then
use the mean value to compute geometric mean and SD. Any help will be
greatly appreciated
Thank you
Ahmed
