.- help for ^groupdist^ .- Generates within group minimum and maximum distances ---------------------------------------------------------- ^groupdist^, ^x^(varname) ^y^(varname) group(varname), [^inkm^] Description ----------- ^groupdist^ Generates the minimum and maximum distance between observations in a group using latitude and longitude. The variable used in ^group^(varname) indicates which group each observation belongs to. The option ^inkm^ indicates that distances should be reported in kilometers rather than miles, which is the default. Generated variable ^maxdist^ contains the minimum within group distance, and ^maxdist^ contains the maximum within group distance.
