WEIGHTED ORDER STATISTIC MEAN

Name:
    WEIGHTED ORDER STATISTIC MEAN (LET)
Type:
    Let Subcommand
Purpose:
    Compute the weighted order statistic mean of a variable.
Description:
    The formula for the weighted order statistic mean is

      Wbar = SUM[i=1 to N][(W(i)*X(i()]/SUM[i=1 to N][W(i)]

    with Xi and Wi denoting the response variable and the weights variable, respectively.

    Note that the Xi will be sorted while the Wi will not be sorted before applying this formula. That is, the Wi weight applies to the i-th order statistic, not the i-th response value. This is the main distinction between this command and the WEIGHTED MEAN command.

Syntax:
    LET <par> = WEIGHTED ORDER STATISTIC MEAN <y> <w>
                            <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification>
    where <y> is the response variable;
          <w> is the weights varialbe;
          <par> is a parameter where the weighted order statistic mean is saved;
    and where the <SUBSET/EXCEPT/FOR qualification> is optional.
Examples:
    LET WOS = WEIGHTED ORDER STATISTIC MEAN Y1 WEIGHT
    LET WOS = WEIGHTED ORDER STATISTIC MEAN Y1 SUBSET TAG = 1
