st: svmat question
I am using weighted data. I use svy: tab to get a grouping of a
variable agegroup (7 categories).
I save the percentages using the svmat command. If there are no
observations for the agegroup, the category does not show up in the
display and the svmat variable only produces percentages of
categories where the number of observations>0.
Is there any way to have Stata include the agegroup and report 0%?
By doing this, I would have a full matrix for all 7 categories, even
those where there are no observations for the category.
The reason I ask, is that I am doing this several times and if I
outsheet the results, insheet the results and merge or append, I may
have one set of data that has all seven categories, but the next set
may have only 6 categories and when the 2 are combined they offset,
resulting in inaccurate information. I am wondering if the answer
lies in the svy:tab command rather than the svmat command. Hope this
is understandable and thanks for any input.
