XCONTRACT: Stata module to make a data set of frequencies and percents on disk or in memory

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: xcontract is an extended version of contract. It creates a data set with one observation per combination of values of a list of variables in the existing data set and new variables containing the frequency and percent of each combination, and, optionally, the cumulative frequency and percent of each combination. By-variables can be used with xcontract, and the percents will then be calculated within by-groups. The output data set may either be listed to the Stata log, or saved to a disk file, or written to the memory (overwriting any existing data set).
