A question on "pctile"

[Bright Tree]

Dear friends,

I want to generate the values of percentiles, 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80.80-90,90-100. But pctile or _pctile might only generate 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80.80-90,90-100 percentiles. For example,

`` sysuse auto, clear

*Compute the deciles for weight and store then in r(r#)

_pctile weight, nq(10)

*List the stored results
return list
''
It only returns "10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80.80-90,90-100" percentiles.
. Is there any way?

Is the value at 0~10 percentile the minimum value?
Thank you a lot!

Hi Bright,
It isnt clear what is it that you want to do.
If you can provide a small example of what EXACTLY you want to do, it may be easier to give you some advice.
