Greetings,
I cannot find out why the xtile command in Stata does not give me
approximately equal number of observations for each quantile :
. xtile quintileDSO=DSO, n(5)
.
. ta quintileDSO
5 quantiles |
of DSO | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 427 21.58 21.58
2 | 401 20.26 41.84
3 | 385 19.45 61.29
4 | 455 22.99 84.28
5 | 311 15.72 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 1,979 100.00
