I have data that get updated and need to make calculations based on
the state of knowledge on certain dates.
For examples, say I am doing a moving average based on stock closing
prices. If my state of knowledge on Wednesday is that Tuesday's
closing price was $10 - but then on Friday I learn (new information)
that Tuesday's closing price was actually $12. For calculations on
Wednesday and Thursday I want to use $10 as Tuesday's closing price,
Friday and all following days I want to use the corrected price of
$12.
What is the best way to arrange the data in Stata to accomplish this?
