Hi All,
I am new to Stata: moved from SPSS a week ago. I am hoping that someone can help me with what I imagine is a simple issue. I saved an SPSS file as a Stata one. I am
working my way through the user guide and the data management manual, but I am having difficulty with confirming whether Stata recognizes variables as continuous
(or scale) or categorical/dichotomous (or nominal). In SPSS, you can easily identify whether the type of measure is a scale, nominal, or string with its drop down menu in
the variable view. It would be a great help, and I would appreciate it very much if someone would tell me the method to confirm the data type for
categorical/dichotomous and for continuous variables? Thank you.
Best regards,
Frank
