Must not be omitted. Distribution can be given as counts or relative frequencies, as it is rescaled to unity. {phang} {opt VERB:ose} displays detailed information on {varname}. {phang} {opt prop} Switch to estimation via {cmd:proportion}. Chiefly used for testing. {phang} {cmd:bootstrap}, {cmd:by}, {cmd:jackknife} and {cmd:statsby} are allowed, see {help prefix}. {phang} {opt vce}, {opt cl:uster} uses complex variance estimators. Cluster, bootstrap, and jacknife estimators are allowed. Switches to numerical methods. {phang} {opt svy} uses survey characteristics of your data. Switches to numerical methods and requires that the survey design variables be identified using {help svyset} {phang} {opt subpop(var)} identifies subpopulation for use with survey estimator. Implies {opt svy} {phang} {cmd:aweight}s, {cmd:fweight}s, {cmd:iweight}s, and {cmd:pweight}s are allowed; see {help weight}. {phang} {opt l:evel(#)} sets confidence level. {marker remarks}{...} {title:Remarks} {pstd} Values of {varname} must be strictly positive integers. The number of categories must not exceed twelve. The order of categories in {opt POP:values} and {varname} must match. If in doubt, use {opt VERB:ose}, or {help inspect} {varname}.
