Re: st: centralizing survey data
Clive, Austin, and Stas,
thank you so much for your input. Truly amazing. Stas' suggestion to
use what Stata leaves behind was exactly what I needed. I wondered
about how to pick up these data before, and now I know! At the point
on the Stata learning curve I'm on I appreciate all the basics that
will then help me going more advanced. Clive and Austin, your input
will keep me busy and learning for the next couple weeks. ;-)
Thanks again,
Stephan

Unfortunately the svy: command does not work with egen varmean=mean

constant for centralizing purposes?

Your wish to "centralize a couple variables" implies that you want
to de-mean them. If so, Ben Jann's user-written -center- routine
should help here. It's available from SSC via the -findit- command.
