Title: FASTXTILE: Stata module to generate a variable of quantile categories
Abstract: fastxtile is a drop in replacement for the built-in Stata program xtile. It has the same syntax and produces identical results, but has been optimized to be more computationally efficient. The difference in running time is substantial in large datasets. It also supports computing the quantile boundaries using a random sample of the data. This further increases the speed, but generates approximate quantiles due to sampling error.
