Dear Maarten, 

thanks. I actually want to do a moving "proportion".
Sorry for being clear. 

 Since I had data at the individual level, I have
created another dataset that sums the deaths per
month. I can calculate the proportion permonth, but I
want to create a moving proportion which will be for
Proportion1=# female/total population for all months,
all years. For Proportion2= # female/total for
months2-12 under year 2003 and all months next years.
Etc.. so the tssmooth ma will give me an average and I
think I can only lead N/2. What I did is after using
collapse (sum) :

sort year month

. list  month year female male sex_unknown  total

+-------------------------------------------------+
month   year   female   male   sex_un~n   total 
-------------------------------------------------
1.      3   2003      182    264       5915    6361 
2.      4   2003       72    109       1798    1979 
3.      5   2003       24    371         68     463 
4.      6   2003       31    447         94     572 
5.      7   2003       34    523         37     594 
-------------------------------------------------
6.      8   2003       43    587        111     741 
7.      9   2003       33    435         36     504 
8.     10   2003       27    331         94     452 
9.     11   2003       29    351         34     414 
10.     12   2003       27    411         48     486 
-------------------------------------------------
11.      1   2004       33    415         79     527 
12.      2   2004       24    374        149     547 
13.      3   2004       55    606        257     918 
14.      4   2004      205    400        588    1193 


Then I can generate a proportion just by 
using gen=sum(female)/sum(total) but how can I specify
that this has to be calculated by moving downwards one
month every time? 

Also, If I use monthly data instead of individual data
I cant calculate the confidence intervals. 

So what do you suggest?

Thanks again. 

Regards, 
Gaby
