Grouped data in Stata or SAS
I have an income distribution dataset which I am attempting to manipulate in Stata (or SAS).
From this dataset I need to extract the number of households at each income level. The income levels are regularly spaced, say at $10,000 intervals for example.
In other words, for i=$30,000, I want to know the number of households
receiving between $20,000 and $30,000.
\: dx)
(where f(x) is the underlying density function and x is income level)
Does anyone know the Stata (or SAS) command that would give me this info? In Stata I can get the income at each percentile of the population using the "centile" command, but this doesn't quite give me what I want.
Thanks
