Hi all,
I guess there is a easy solution for this, but after looking at it for a couple of hours I and searching the internet for the solution I still haven't found it. Now my mind is completely lost somewhere, so I hope any of you can help me out.
I have a variable -limit- with limits. e.g.
2
1
0
2
2
3
And there is variable for instance called -x- with other values e.g.
0
1
2
5
-3
3
What I want is a new variable which has on index i the counts of -x-'s smaller than the -limit- on that index. So for index 1 I want to count the number of values which are smaller than limit[1] = 2. In this case values 0,1 and -3 of -x- are smaller, so I want to have 3 on index 1 in my new variable.
For index 2, only values 0 and -3 are smaller than limit[2]=1, so I want a 2 there.
I tried summing over a variable with ones which didn't seem to work...
(for instance: gen nsmall = sum(ones) if x < limit[_n])
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!
Jelmer
