Almost... You will need to store the percentiles in local macros (as the return values r() get overwritten by regress):

_pctile d, p(33 66)
local p33=r(r1)
local p66=r(r2)
reg y a b c if d<=`p33'
reg y a b c if d>`p33' & d<`p66'
reg y a b c if d>=`p66'

Alternatively, you may find it easier by creating a new categorical variable for the 3 groups. e.g.

xtile byte pc=d, n(3)
bysort pc: reg y a b c

Hope this helps

David

Dear all,
What if we want to run 3 regression models according to the classification of 
variable "d"?

centile d, centile(33)
centile d, centile(66)
reg y a b c if d<=r(c_1)
reg y a b c if d>r(c_1)&d<r(c_2)
reg y a b c if d>=r(c_2)

Thank you in advance.
