Several syntax lines wrapped in the earlier post. Here they are again, with line breaks.

----

*Calculate reliabilities for place/hour groups.

egen N = count(crowdindx), by(place hour)
gen nr=1/N
mean nr, over(place hour)
mat b=e(b)
mat N=b'
matrix rownames N = `e(over_labels)'

loneway crowdindx placeXhr

matrix sj = N * (r(sd_w) * r(sd_w))

local tau = r(sd_b) * r(sd_b)

matrix t = J(48,1,`tau')

matrix J = t,sj

matrix rownames J = `e(over_labels)'

matrix colnames J = tau sigma_nj

preserve
drop _all
svmat J, names(col)
tempfile mat
save `mat'
use `mat'
gen lambda_j = tau / (tau + sigma_nj)
restore

*End of reliability analysis.

Here's a solution to my question about working with vectors and scalars. Thank you, Austin Nichols, for providing initial code and a hint about difficulty generating element-wise reciprocals.

I initially had a problem using the "placeXhr" variable in the -mean- command, because "placeXhr" is a string variable. That problem is solved by using both "place" and "hour" variables in -mean-.

The reliabilities in the sub-groups turned out to be very similar.

You're right. The "d" in the equation should be "s" (sigma-squared). I can get the reliability reported by -loneway- for the overall sample mean, but I want the reliabilities for each group.

Yes, I think it would be easier in Mata, but I don't know how to do that.

When I ran the syntax you provided, the -mean- command gave an error:

. mean nr, over(placeXhr)
no observations
r(2000);

If I can figure out that error, I think the approach will work.

I take it you don't want the reliability reported by -loneway-? Not
sure what you want from your description... but I don't think that
equation looks right, and I don't have the ref handy. Can you confirm
that t cancels out? Is your calculated s equiv to d in your formula?
I don't see where you've tried to calculate something and gotten an
error, but try:

egen N = count(crowdindx), by(placeXhr)
g nr=1/N
mean nr, over(placeXhr)
mat b=e(b)
mat N=b'
loneway crowdindx placeXhr
scalar t = r(sd_b) * r(sd_b)
scalar s = r(sd_w) * r(sd_w)
mat lambda = s*N
mat li lamdba

But if you need to calculate the element-wise reciprocal, it's easier in Mata...

I am working with scalars and a vector to estimate sample mean reliability
by group, using a formula from Bryk & Raudenbush (1992) Hierarchical Linear
Models:

lambda-j = t / [ t / (d /Nj)]

lambda-j is the reliability estimate for group j, t is between-group
variance, d is within-group variance, and Nj is the group N.

Nj is a vector. The other parameters (t, d) are scalars.

Here's what I tried using -matrix- and -scalar-. The vector comes from a
collapsed dataset. The scalars come from -loneway- using the original
(uncollapsed) dataset. I have no trouble producing the vector and scalars,
but can't figure out how to get them into the same matrix or file together
so I can calculate the reliability esimates.

Any help will be much appreciated.
