Dear Statalisters,
sorry for reposting the same thread but the first today's try seems
unsuccessful.
I would like to run 30 running sums concerning the number of blood tests
provided to a given set of patients with the data column reported below, by
leaving one-out i per time. IOW, I would like to run a first running sum
with considering from i 1 to i 30; a second one including from i 2 to i 30,
a third including from i 3 to i 30 and so forth, until the last 30th running
sum, in which i 29 and i 30 should be included.
I have tried - gen ALFA=sum(x) - but I have lost myself with imposing
different (and unsuccessful) conditions to make it work out. User's guide
and programming were not helpful. Any hints welcomed as ever. Thanks a lot
for your kindness and for your time. Kind Regards, Carlo.
