Does anyone wish to cooperate on generating a "multiple response " table
command ?
Example:
Diagnoses are recorded in up to three variables d1 d2 d3
To know how many people has a certain diagnose one has to combine the three
diagnoses into a combined classification.
If diagnoses are recorded as strings another problem arises since with
encode the same diagnose gets a different code in the different variables,
e.g. :
. clist d* if NR1== "s 610" | NR2 == "s 610",label
d_miss d1 d2 d3 diag_miss diag_r1 diag_r2
diag_r3
26. 0 s 610 . . 0 0 0
0
27. 0 s 092 s 610 . 0 0 0
0
* but the codes are not equal, notice 96 vs 41:
. clist d* if NR1== "s 610" | NR2 == "s 610",
d_miss d1 d2 d3 diag_miss diag_r1 diag_r2 diag_r3
26. 0 96 . . 0 0 0 0
27. 0 41 41 . 0 0 0 0
We wish to make a table like:
multresponse d1-d3
Number
Percentage
responses observations responses
observations
diagnose 1 x x1 x2
x3
diagnose 2 etc
etc.
diagnose n
If anyone has general comments write to the list.
