Dear
I would like to ask for your help about the command colelms.
The command runs funny to me:
. colelms BMI_b, agegroup(cdcage_b) sex(gender) nosmooth
(10 missing values generated)
(10 missing values generated)
(10 missing values generated)
(10 missing values generated)
(10 missing values generated)
First, it gives missing values. Second, it calculates once for observations have the same agegroup. Although age is same, sex and BMI are diffirent so i expect to see different L, M, and S values.
Also, I do not know how to set the value of df and its function in this command in the syntax below given by "help"
colelms yvar, agegroup(var) [sex(var) centile(# # #) df(#) nosmooth]
If anyone knows, please help.
Thank you
