Dear Statalisters,
I am using the majority command (author: Nicholas J. Cox) to count majority
items in a specific group (defid). However, when I used the option
generate(newvarlist) with one variable to return the majority calculation,
the variable is not generated. Below is the command I typed and an extract
of the results. I would like to further manipulate the majority valuable,
but it is not generated from this command. Any help is appreciated. Thank
you.
majority predelib, pos(1) neg(2) by(defid) gen(maj)
+------------------------------------------------+
| defid total positive negative majority |
|------------------------------------------------|
| 3 5 2 2 0 |
| 7 3 2 0 2 |
| 9 3 1 0 1 |
| 11 4 0 3 -3 |
| 13 3 0 1 -1 |
|------------------------------------------------|
