st: replace missing values of a variable with the median of that variable based on particular criterion

[xueliansharon <xuelianstata@gmail.com>]

Dear all,

I have two variables Inc (labeled as income) and Range on respondent-level. 

For each respondent, if Inc<., then Range=.; 
if Inc=., then Range is nonmissing, and provides the range of income for
that respondent (Range=1 means 0<=Inc<200, Range=2 means 200<=Inc<600 ). 

The data structure is like:

PersonID    Inc    Range
1              100         .
2              .             1
3              200         .
4              .             2
5              232         .
6              500         .
7              150         .
8              340         .
9              .             1
10            55           .

I want to realize the following procedure to replace the missing values of
Inc:
When Inc=. & Range=1, replace the missing value of Inc with the median
income of those respondents who provide nonmissing values for Inc and 0<=
Inc<200;
When Inc=. & Range=2, replace the missing value of Inc with the median
income of those respondents who provide nonmissing values for Inc and
200<=Inc<600.

How to realize this purpose?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best,
Sharon
