I know how to do this in SPSS but want to develop my Stata skills looking for help... please
I want to caluculate the centiles of a normal distribution, with a standardised variable sds, mean 0, and SD 1. Here is in SPSS:
* * Centiles.
numeric cent (f4.1).
compute cent=100*CDF.Normal(sds,0,1).
execute.
How would you do this in STATA?
Here you will find commands you can use in stata to caluculate the centiles of a normal distribution:
