Hey community,
when I try to compute deciles of a variable based on the cutpoints of another variable, I just get the following message:
xtile decile = cumul, nq(10) c(pt3531)
both nquantiles() and cutpoints() cannot be specified
Here is a part of my dataset:
I created pt3531/pt3581 by using a loop:
use final.dta, clear
forval i=353/358 {
preserve
keep if month_id==`i'
pctile pt = cumul if exchcd==1, nq(10)
mkmat pt, mat(pt`i')
restore
}
forval i=353/671 {
svmat pt`i'
}
I hope you can help me out and tell me why my nquantiles and cutpoints cannot be specified.
Best,
Bat
