Dear all:
I have 10 different "groups" of people and I want to get the median "age" (across observations) for the last 3 years within each group for each year.
I have the following idea but unfortunately I don't have any idea how to get the median.
sort year group
genenerate threeyearmedian=.
generate median=.
quietly forvalues k = 1/10 {
quietly forvalues y = 1982/2006 {
local y1 = `y' - 3
local y2 = `y' - 1
generate median = ??? median age ??? if inrange(year, `y1', `y2') & group==`k'
replace threeyearmedian median if year == `y' & group ==`k'
}
}
Hope someone can help me.
Fabian
