How can I get several quantile plots in one diagram?
(There have been past threads on this, but I found no mention of what
I am getting.)
sysuse auto
replace mpg=mpg/2 if foreign // for greater separation
qplot mpg, by(foreign) // two distinct curves, which I would like
to plot together
qplot mpg, over(foreign) // points on a single curve, not what I expected
Am I misunderstanding the help file? It seems to imply that by() and
over() give the same set of curves, which is what I want but isn't
what happens:
---- help qplot
by(varname[, suboptions]) specifies that calculations be carried out
separately for each distinct value of a
specified single variable. Results will be shown separately in
distinct panels. See [G] by_option.
over(varname) specifies that calculations be carried out separately
for each distinct value of a specified
single variable. Curves will be shown together within the
same panel. over() is only allowed with a single
varname.
