PCTILESETS: Stata module for percentile or quantile sets for selected levels

Nicholas Cox

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: pctilesets computes percentile or quantile sets. It is a wrapper for summarize. Typically the user will specify one or more of the options pctile(), minimum and maximum to select extremes and/or any or all of the percentiles for 1, 5, 10, 25 (lower quartile), 50 (median), 75 (upper quartile), 90, 95 and 99% cumulative probability. There are two syntaxes, for variables and for groups of observations. pctilesets by default lists its results. Although saving to a permanent dataset is optional, that is the intended key to many useful applications, graphical and otherwise.
