Respected All,
I wish to extract matrices based on a grouping varible in the dataset.
Consider the following example suppose I have three groups (1,2 and 3)
entered in "gr" variable
m v1 v2 v3 gr
**********************************
23 1 2 3 1
11 3 1 2 1
23 2 2 1 1
25 1 2 3 2
23 2 1 2 2
28 3 3 1 2
2 1 1 2 3
3 1 3 1 3
1 2 1 2 3
and i wish to extract three vectors say
m_1=(23,11,23)
m_2=(25,23,28)
m_3=(2,3,1)
or I wish to extract three matrices say
v_1=(1,2,3\3,1,2\2,2,1)
v_2=(1,2,3\2,1,2\3,3,1)
v_3=(1,1,2\1,3,1\2,1,2)
similary if i have four groups then generated matrices or vectors
should be four and if i have five groups then the generated matrices
should be five and so on.
Best Regards,
Nadeem Shafique Butt
