Re: st: Question on fill in missing values
Hi Pamela,
I don't really get what you wan't to do. It is unclear for example what
you mean by "I also know how often 1 or 2 should be each given in total
for each year." - I do not see any year variable.
Nevertheless, if you just want to replace your missing values with 1's
and 2's randomly, with probabilities prob1 and prob2 respectively, try
the following commands:
set seed 12345
gen random = uniform()
replace st = 1 if random < prob1 & st == .
replace st = 2 if st ==.
drop random

I need to fill in missing values in my dataset. For most sectors I
know
how many start-ups there were for each year, but the data was not given
if the number of startups is less than 3 (hence one or two).
I know that the missing should be 1 or 2 and I know the probability for
either one. I also know how often 1 or 2 should be each given in total
for each year.
I tried recode, impute, mvencode but it did not work.
Maybe someone has a hint?
Thank you!
