Yet another way would be look at -proprcspline-, see
-ssc d proprcspline- and
<http://www.maartenbuis.nl/software/proprcspline.html>
An important difference is that -proprcspline- also applies
certain amount of smoothing, which can for example be helpful
when some the of the periods contain relatively few cases, such
that the changes between periods becomes too eratic.
Hope this helps,
