Hello all,
A problem that involves a simple little table:
I have about 30 variables that take on integer values from 1 through
6. I would like to create a table with the rows being the variables,
the columns consisting of values 1/6, and the cells consisting of the
count of the variable equal to that value. There may be missings,
which I would like to include. Since it would include values that
would otherwise be left out by -tab-, this is similar to -tabcount-,
but vertically. I don't need to be able to specify the value range
(the numlist in tabcount), since they are cleaned within the range.
vertab var1-var3, missing
Value
1 2 3 4 5 6 . N
var1 2 4 5 2 1 4 0 18
var2 7 4 2 2 0 3 0 18
var3 9 8 0 0 0 0 1 18
The ability to have row percents would also be fantastic.
I have looked into using -tab, matcell()- but am not sure how to
recombine the matrices once they have been stored in a manner which
would be consistent across values (i.e., if var3 has no 3's, then the
third value is actually for value 4).
I feel like I am missing some obvious command, but am not sure what.
Thanks,
Dan Egan
