Shehzad,

Just to be sure: Are you using an up-to-date version of -glcurve- (from the SSC archive)?

Subject: st: different result everytime - something strange

Hi listers,

I have encountered a funny problem, which maybe due to something wrong with
my codes or with stata. I am trying to calculate concentration index using
convenient regression method but everytime I run my do file, I get
different results using exactly the same data. I am sure someone can help.

Here is what I am doing:

glcurve y [aw=weight], pvar(rank) replace nograph
qui sum x [fw=weight]
scalar mean=r(mean)
qui sum rank [fw=weight]
sca var_rank=r(Var)
gen lhs=2*var_rank*(x/mean)
regr lhs rank [pw=weight], cluster(commune)
sca CI=_b[rank]
display "concentration index", CI

Any help would be appreciated.

Shehzad
