I would like to create a variable that would contain the means of
subgroups of my sample :

mean yhat, over(demo1)

This command produces a table of means of yhat for the 6 subgroups of
"demo1". I would like to create a variable that would contain these 6
values.


egen gpyhat = mean(yhat), by(demo1)
