Hi

I am currently working on a do file where I want to eliminate outliers which have the highest and the lowest values regarding certain variables. Here it is e.g. at and lt. In general I have 150000 observations and out of these observations I want to delete 25 observations from the upper and lower boundaries. But it might also be better to do it relatively meaning that I dont take the highest and lowest 25 but the lower and upper 1% of the corresponding variables.

gvkey           at           lt
1001            1120         231
1001            1230         312
1210            57           32
1210            67           25
1354            789          560
1368            650          500
1481            1230         900
2930            21           30
3201            234          213
3201            256          220
3210            267          320
4510            4335         3214

I hope this became clear.


Thank you very much for your help.

Felix
