st: Computing summary statistics for peer groups of each individual leaving out the individual herself

["Roychowdhury, Punarjit" <proychowdhur@mail.smu.edu>]

Hi All,

I want to compute income summary statistics (mean and variance) and gini index for peer groups of each individual without including the income of the individual herself in the measure. I have individual level data on income for individuals living in different villages (which is my peer group). Let i denote individual and j denote village. I essentially want to calculate mean income (-i)j, income variance (-i)j, and gini index (-i)j. That is my summary measures for the group varies at the individual level and this variation is obtained by dropping individual i. I guess I need to use either the egen command or probably will need to create a loop. However, I am unsure about how to proceed. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Punarjit
