How to split panel data into different terciles/subsample

Hello,

We have an unbalanced panel data that we want to split into three different terciles or subsamples based on one of the control variables (market value of assets).

Do anyone know how to divide the data into three subsamples based on medians from market value of assets?

It is a 10-year panel data, and the market value of assets changes along the years. Does Eviews divide the data based on the 10-year average of market value of assets or?

Thank you in advance

Best regards

Steffan

Without more details it is hard to be more helpful, but perhaps something like:

Code: Select all

smpl if x>@median(x)
