Dear all,
I have a dataset with multiple records per person recorded on different
dates.
I would like to generate episodes for each person.
By this I mean that, for each person, the start date of the first
episode will be defined as the date of the earliest record.
The next episode for a person will be taken as the first record
occurring after X days from the date of the previous episode.
At the moment I am doing this in a very long winded fashion!
If anybody has a neat bit of code that might do the job, I would very
much appreciate it.
If anything is not clear, apologies - please do ask.
Rachael
