Dear User,
Here also is a response from Dr. Shea Rutstein. Dr. Rutstein is not a STATA expert, but he offered the following:
I am not the expert for STATA, but I think the code should be:
Use xtile pctile decile=hv271 [weight= hv012*hv005/1000000], nq(10). The quantiles (percentiles) are based on the dejure household population so the weight is the household weight multiplied by the number of dejure household members. I don't think that this procedure gives the cutpoints but rather recodes hv271 into 10 categories. Use pctile to get the cutpoints.
