Why don't you check the "statsby" command? I think it may do what you want.

best,
Dimitris

&THgr;&eacgr;&mgr;&agr;: st: -mean- over id, save to a new dta, then variance matrix

I have one dta of 17 columns and 354 rows. The first column, named id, contains the panel identifier (an integer from 1 to 63). I would like to produce a new dta file with 17 columns (keeping the original names) and 63 rows, containing the id variable, and the mean of the remaining 16 columns calculated by the id variable.
I know that I can have such means by -mean- and -tabstat-, but how can easily export the results in a new dataset? Next, I would like to calculate the variance matrix for such new dta and saving it in one more new dta.
How can I do?
Nicola
