Hi Team, I’m working with Household income and expenditure data. I want to find 5 quantiles of the per capita income. I’m using sampling weights. Eg: Following table represent the example for my weights. Sampling Unit Weight 1 41.42092 2 224.9696 3 211.7713 4 131.9084 5 160.3988 6 475.2353 7 217.6984 First I installed the user written command : ssc install quantiles Then use following command for my data. quantiles ym[pw=s_weight], gen(ym_decile) n(5) k(hh_code) ym – per capita income variable ym_decile – new categorical variable hh_code – Identifying code for each household But stata says “pw” not allowed for this command. But “iw” is allowed. So my question is Can I use “iw” intead of “pw” here? Thank You.
