Sylke,

You can try quantile regressions without explanatory variables (-qreg-, 
-sqreg-, etc.). For example, -sqreg- will give you bootstrapped covariance 
matrix for a set of percentile values. 

However, you will need to find out how to deal with your weights (only 
-qreg- accepts weights, and no -pweights-, so not valid if your weights 
are sample weights). 

Hope this helps

Philippe

I would like to estimate standard errors for different
percentiles and need to apply weights. Neither sum, centile or
pctile offers a solution. Does STATA offers a command I have
overlooked? Thanks
