Hi,
I have a very large data-set (i.e. around 60,000
households, and around 320,000 individuals). say that
i have three variables: a hh identifier, a person
identifier, and an X1 variable of interest that
measures whether a person is X1 or not.
UIDhhstr X1 UIDpersonstr
01101021 1 0110102101
01101021 0 0110102102
01101021 0 0110102103
01101031 1 0110103101
01101031 0 0110103102
01101031 0 0110103103
01101031 0 0110103104
01101031 0 0110103105
01101031 0 0110103106
say I wanted to tell Stata: gen a variable X2 such
that it takes the value of 1 if for any member of a
household X1==1. how can i do this in stata? after
generating X2, then i could collapse the data down to
the household level.
thanks for your kind advice to a stats-beginner.
best wishes.
frank.
