Betreff: st: Calculating percentages (proportions) of indicator variables
Dear all,
I hope that you would help me with the following technical problem.
I have a dataset based on a question with four different possible answers. The
question takes the form of an indicator variable with 4 different numeric values
(1,2,3,4).
I have data for individuals from several countries. I need to generate a new
variable that contains the fraction (i.e. percentage share) of each response to
the question within each country. However, I cannot find any online source on
calculating percentages with mutliple responses in Stata (more than two).
Example:
country: response:
1 3
1 3
1 2
1 1
1 4
1 3
2 1
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
3 2
3 2
3 4
3 3
3 1
