Control number of bins in binscatter

[David Tsu]

I generate a binscatter using

sysuse auto, clear
binscatter price mpg, nq(100) rd(30) line(none)

The issue is that the dataset includes many more observations with mpg < 30 than with mpg > 30. Is it possible to increase the number of bins (reduce the bandwidth) for x>30 to make the plot look more balanced?

binscatter is from SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12).

You can bin using an existing variable, so create that beforehand.

Thanks! I updated the question with a reproducible example.
