Dear all:
I used -bysort year group : egen oneyearmedian = median(age)- to create the median within each group (1-10) for each year (1974-2000).
Now I want to get the three year average of the three median for each group for the most recent three years:
generate threeyearaverage = .
sort year group
quietly forvalues k = 1/10 {
quietly forvalues y = 1974/2000 {
local median3 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 3' & industry == `k',
local median2 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 2' & industry == `k',
local median1 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 1' & industry == `k',
replace fiveyearmedian = (`median3' + `median2' + `median1' ) / 3 if year == `y' & group == `k'
}
}
But stata always says: if not allowed r(101);
What do I wrong? Hope someone can help me.
