Descriptive statistics for stacked panel data

[btretter]

How do you find the descriptive statistics for individual cross sections when the observations are sequential stacked format.
Therefore each country, for instance, is id'ed by the number before the year. Therefore 1-95, 1-96, 1-97, 1-98, 2-95,2-96 and so on. How can i limit the sample to 1-95 - 1-99?

Thank you

If you're just interested in a single cross-section, you can do:

Code: Select all

Smpl if @crossid=1

Etc...

To see statistics by cross-section simultaneously, open the series and use View->Descriptive Statistics->Stats by classification, and use "@crossid" as the "Series/Group for classify".
