Hello,
I need to do something simple, but having a hard time figuring it out. Hopefully someone can help me. I need to estimate a median for a continuous variable (occtotal) using pweight (weight1). I tried using the command:
summarize occtotal [pweight= weight1]
Stata tells me:
pweight not allowed
The only way I can get the median using the weights is to produce a weighted frequency distribution and then figuring out the median. I have to do this for a large number of variables and it will be too cumbersome.
Is it possible to produce a weighted median in Stata?
Thanks in advance,
Robert
