Well, no, if you -sum, meanonly- your medians then it delivers the mean of
medians. The problem with your proposal is that the -local- assignment does
not allow an -if- statement. That is why I say: calculate your results
beforehand with -sum- and the -if- statement, store them in -local-s and
then do your -replace-...

Dear Martin:
your proposal will result in the 3-year-mean of means; but I want to get
the 3-year-mean of (yearly) medians (across observations). This is why I
cannot use meanonly; I would need "medianonly" for your solution, which
unfortunately doesn't exist.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This is why I want to do it like this, but I don't kow what is wrong
(Stata says: if not allowed r(101))
quietly forvalues k = 1/10 {
quietly forvalues y = 1974/2000 {
local median3 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 3' & industry == `k',
local median2 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 2' & industry == `k',
local median1 = oneyearmedian if year == `= `y' - 1' & industry == `k',
replace fiveyearmedian = (`median3' + `median2' + `median1' ) / 3 if year
== `y' & group == `k'
}
}
Hope someone could tell me..Thanks.

True, consecutive -summarize-s will overwrite the rclass results so you
have
to store the r(mean) them in -local-s. Apart from that, I do not know
what
is wrong with my proposal...
