Those percentiles are slightly off, however:



*************
clear*
set obs 1000
set seed 234232
gen x=rgamma(2,2)
sqreg x, quantiles(10 25 50 75 90) reps(2)
centile x, centile(10 25 50 75 90)

Betreff: RE: st: finding means and percentiles with mim

I agree with the message.  However, what I am looking for is a descriptive
statistic, so the command sqreg y, quantile(10 25 50 75 90)  will give me
the percentiles that I want.  

Here is some output.

. mim:sqreg lck ,quantile(10 25 50 75 90)

Multiple-imputation estimates (sqreg)                Imputations =      20
                                                     Minimum obs =     432
                                                     Minimum dof =   386.9

" the command qreg is supported by mim, so I think I can use it."



Note the cautionary tale in this thread, though:
