BMisc - Miscellaneous Functions for Panel Data, Quantiles, and Printing
Results
These are miscellaneous functions for working with panel
data, quantiles, and printing results. For panel data, the
package includes functions for making a panel data balanced
(that is, dropping missing individuals that have missing
observations in any time period), converting id numbers to row
numbers, and to treat repeated cross sections as panel data
under the assumption of rank invariance. For quantiles, there
are functions to make distribution functions from a set of data
points (this is particularly useful when a distribution
function is created in several steps), to combine distribution
functions based on some external weights, and to invert
distribution functions. Finally, there are several other
miscellaneous functions for obtaining weighted means, weighted
distribution functions, and weighted quantiles; to generate
summary statistics and their differences for two groups; and to
add or drop covariates from formulas.
