Hello - Does anyone know an efficient way to identify the observation at
which a particular variable is minimum or maximum (subject to `if'
and/or `in') ?
Apparently -summarize- does not return this value. I see nothing in
-egen- nor does "findit argmax" produce anything. I can program this
myself by looping through the observations but that is not efficient. In
particular one cannot gurantee that anything like
summ x
local xmax=r(max)
if x = `xmax' {
...
will work because of rounding. I also wish to avoid -preserve-,
-collapse-, etc
