I am writing a Stata program to aggregate classifications based on a
cancer TYPE and SITE. I am converting the code from SPSS so it is
syntactically rather inefficient, for example:
DO IF (TYPE = n OR TYPE = n2 OR TYPE = .... etc (further 5 iterations)).
COMPUTE group = 1
.
.
ELSE IF (TYPE = n AND TYPE = n2 AND TYPE = .....) etc.
COMPUTE group = 2
To make this a bit easier SPSS has a function: ANY(TYPE,n1,n2,n3). Does
Stata has a similar function? I see there are functions -anyof()- and
-allof() but they appear to have a different function.
Regards,
Dave
