Speaking Stata: Three commands for data reduction
Abstract
Three new commands for data reduction— cisets, pctilesets , and quantilesets —are introduced with examples. Each command lists a set of results and saves those results to a separate dataset, whether of confidence intervals or of percentiles or quantiles. Immediate applications include graphical displays, illustrated by examples of confidence intervals shown in various ways and of complements and alternatives to box plots.
