Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: gsum calculates summary statistics for an ordinal variable were each category represents a range of a conceptually continuous variable. gsum provides the weighted N, the mean, the standard deviation, and quantiles 0.25, 0.50 (the median), and 0.75 (you can specify any set of quantiles you want). Each quantile is available as both the midpoint of the category in which the quantile falls, or as a linear interpolation of that quantile based on methods presented by Blalock (1979).
