Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: xtiletest computes specified percentiles of a variable, and tests them for equality across groups of observations. The test is based on Johnson et al. (Open Journal of Statistics, 2015), in which it is shown that the hypothesis of equality of percentiles across groups can be expressed as a standard Chi-squared goodness of fit test, as produced by Stata's tabulate command.
