I am working with a panel and I want to get the mean for each
unit, but just once. If I use the pmean(x) I get the mean of
each unit repeated for each observation in that unit.
The quick method:
matrix pmx = values(pmean(x))
But if two or more panel groups have the same mean for x this will
drop the duplicates, which is probably not what you want. In that
case you can ensure you get the full vector of means via
genr time
series tmp = pmean(x)
smpl time == 1 --restrict
matrix pmx = tmp
smpl --full
