Hello everyone. I need to report (for several variables) descriptive stats such as mean, st dev, min, p25%, median, p75%, and max. I know that I can click on Histogram and stats to get all these values except fot p25% and p75%. How do I find the 25th and the 75% percentile for given series? I will appreciate your advice!

From command:

Code: Select all

scalar quant25 = @quantile(seriesname, 0.25) scalar quant75 = @quantile(seriesname, 0.75)
