Hello stata-users,
I have come across code for trimming data globally but not what I am specifically looking for. I have two variables - age and a score. I want to remove the 1st and 99th percentile of the score within each age group. For instance, I'd like to remove the 1st and 99th percentile of the score for everyone that is 18 years old. Then I'd do the same for 19 years old in the dataset, and so on until 110 yo.
I have thought of creating age categories individually and then trimming but that is a lot of manual work (n=thousands). Are there any shortcuts in stata that I am unaware of?
Thank you.
