Analyzing repeated cross-sectional data

[Chris Langehof]

Dear users,

I have repeated cross-sectional data which I divided into 40 groups (regions). Each group contains many individual observations, the number is differing per group.
Is there a command, something similar to xtsum, that can immediately show summary statistics, such as the average number of individuals within each group or the group with the most observations?

Thank you!

Best,
Chris

Not exactly analogous to -xtsum- but you can just do -by group, sort: summ- and you will get summary statistics for every variable, disaggregated by group. If you have specific variables and specific statistics (not everything produced by -summarize-) in mind, then perhaps the -tabstat- command is closest to what you want. See -help tabstat- for details.
