I am using syncmrates in Stata. Could you please tell me what command should I add to following command for getting mortality estimates by different educational group (suppose the variable for education is v008 which holds categories 1, 2 and 3). Can I get estimates for all the educational categories using a single command that could be added to following command?
syncmrates v008 b3 b7 [iw=v005]
syncmrates is from SSC. It's always helpful to be told the provenance of community-contributed commands (see the Stata tag wiki).
Your example is from the help file, and it's implied that v008 is (must be) a variable holding date of interview.
But given a further variable, say education, my reading of the help implies that you need to repeat the command with qualifiers
... if education == 1
... if education == 2
... if education == 3
to get separate estimates.
