Amadou - Do you mean the sample covariance between Q and the numbers in your
vector? If so, just put your Q-values in a variable called "Q", your
x-values in a variable called "x" (5 observations for both ) and then issue
the command. 

corr Q X,cov

Actually I suspect this is not what you are really asking. Perhaps you can
elucidate.

Hi,

I have an income variable grouped into 5 categories (Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5) ie from
poorest to
richest and I want to compute its covariance with the following vector:

        |   0.1    |
        |   0.3    |
        |   0.5    |
X =  |   0.7    |
        |  0.9     |

How to do that into stata?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Amadou.
