Subject | st: How Do I divide the sample into quintiles in Stata? |
Date | Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:55:46 +0300 |
1. I have sample with a number of variables such as household net expenditure ( which proxies the income of the household) visits to health facilities; current level of education, residence (rural and urban) and I would like to divide the sample into quintiles (groups of 20%), how do i do it in stata? 2. How do we compare the visits to health facilities by people with low income with the number of visits by household with high income( low and higher income proxied as low net expenditure and higher household net expenditure) and express all these into quintiles shares? Please assist the stata commands to execute the above and thanks in advance -- Stevie Kourama * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
