Hi all,

I am unsure as to how I would go about keeping or dropping the
top/bottom X% of observations of a variable. I would like to do this
for further analysis on a subset of my data. For instance, I want to
do some further regressions for the top 10% of my observations based
on 'distance from home' and not the whole data set.


Thank you,
Lisa
