setx allows the user to choose real or hypothetical values
for the explanatory variables (the 
s). The program employs
standard formulae for the mean, the minimum, the maximum, percentiles,
and other descriptive statistics. If the user is analyzing several
imputed datasets, setx will calculate the average statistic
across the datasets. For instance, the command setx x1 mean
will calculate the mean of x1 in each dataset, and then set x1 equal
to the average of those means. Similarly, the command setx x1
x1[3] will obtain the value of x1 in the third row of each imputed
dataset, and then set x1 equal to the average of those values.
