I'm running Stata 15.1 and working with data from the American Community Survey. My goal is to assess differences in income across different European ethnic groups. The problem is that some of these groups have only a couple of respondents in a given year. While I ultimately plan to derive aggregate estimates (i.e. take the mean of a group between 2010-2017), precision will be naturally compromised if, say, certain groups total 10-50 respondents across all years. I'd thus like to remove groups from the analysis who have less than 20 respondents in ANY year of the survey. I first attempted the following:
Code:
egen grpcount=count(ancestgroup), by(year ancestgroup)
Code:
tab ancestgroup if grpcount > 19
group(ethnic1b ethnic2b) | Freq. Percent Cum.
