Greetings STATA-listers,
I have a dataset examining eye surgeries and I want to examine
how responses to certain variables (e.g. q1_1, q1_2, etc.)
between each eye vary. The problem is, my dataset is
structured as pasted below:
+------------------------------------------+
| jmec_no eye iol sex q1_1 q1_2 |
|------------------------------------------|
1. | 30332 OD SA60 F None None |
2. | 30332 OS AR40 F None None |
3. | 46199 OD SA60 F None None |
4. | 46199 OS AR40 F None None |
+------------------------------------------+
How do I restructure the dataset so that the Wilcoxon sign rank
test can be performed?? That is, I recognize that I need to
reshape it or create an array or do some manipulation, but I am
at a loss as how to proceed (even after a perusal of the
reference manual and STATA help feature) - any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Clint Thompson
