Dear Tom Pullum,

Following your codes for creating deciles or percentiles

 gen wt=hv005*hv012, xtile test=hv271 [pweight=wt], n(5)
ta hv270 test, missing

In NFHS-5 (India).

I find the results shown in the image below.

Should I drop the missing Observation or use some (interpolation) methods to fill in the missing values?
I want to create deciles and percentiles for analysis
/index.php?t=getfile&id=2003&private=0

Thank you
