hello all,
I am working on a panel data set : 2000 households over 10 years(120 months)
It has a household identifier as panel id and year/month variable as timevar.
when I tried to tsset it, I get the following result:
. tsset panel_id timevar
repeated time values within panel
r(451);
My goal is to identify and isolates those panels which has repeated time values and remove the duplicates.
So I tried :
by panel_id: duplicates re timevar,
and response was that duplicates can not be combined with "by" command. Can you suggest me a way to remove
the duplicates.
Thanks,
MR
