If I understand this correctly, something like this may suit:
forval i = 1/198 {
qui su ps [aweight = spl`i'], detail
di %3.0f `i' %10.3f r(skewness) %10.3f r(kurtosis)
}

P.S. "sorting" is sedimentology-speak for variability, but Alona asks
for skewness and kurtosis. If she wants other measures too, modify the
-display- above.
Armstrong, Alona
I have some particle size data with a class size column (called 'ps'
with 50 or 100 classes) and 198 columns with frequencies in for
different samples. I need to calculate the skewness and kurtosis for
each of the samples. I've done this for individual samples by:
summarize ps [aweight = spl1], detail
Or perhaps more neatly:
tabstat ps [aweight = spl1], statistics( kurtosis skewness )
columns(variables)
But, what I really need is either a dataset or a table for all 198
samples at once? I've looked at xcontract/xcollapse but these don't seem
to have a skew and kurtosis option.
Thanks,
Alona
