I am using this commands to group observations for risk score
stcox age treat
predict xb,xb
drop if xb==.
gen gr_risk = group(5)
This last command works but I do not find where
the function group() is documented (and why I still use it)
---------------------------------------------------------------
In what sense do you mean that "the command works"? No such function
exists in official Stata (at least not version 9). But -egen- has:
egen newvar = group(varlist)
and
egen newvar = cut(varname) , group(5)
The latter seems to be closest to what you want.
Good luck
Svend
