Dear all,
I'm studing a group of subject with repeated measures in time.
Measurements are expressed as proportions, and I would like to do a chi2
test to test linear trend for these repeated data ... that means , a kind of
"nptrend" but for repeated data
Does this test exist ?
Thank you
Alvine Bissery

Thanks to Nick Cox there is such a command: -nvals- , part of the egenmore
package will return the number distinct values as a variable. Something
like:
egen uniqclm = nvals(CLMS) , by(year)
should work.
You also might find the discussion in the FAQ "How do I compute the number
of distinct observations?"
(http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/data/distinct.html) helpful.
Hope this helps,
Scott
