Couldnt you work with -preserve- and -restore- ?
duplicates tag x y, generate(dup)
preserve
drop if dup~=0
tsset x y
...
restore
Wouldn�t it be better to keep one of the duplicate observations?
Duplicates drop, force
Instead of
Drop if dup~=0

Betreff: st: tsset on subsample of observations
Dear All,
Is there a way to tsset a subsample of my observations?
I want to perform operations that involve time series commands, but if
I consider my entire dataset I have repeated time values within the
panel.
I would like to Stata to tsset my observations for that subset of obs.
that are uniquely identified within each panel... something like:
tsset x y if unique==1
Is there a way to do this?
Otherwise I would be forced to drop the repeated observations, but
since I need those obs. for other exercises this will force me to save
datasets: one with duplicates and another one without them. Something
that seems highly inefficient.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
robert
