hi,
i have a dataset with results from a number clinical studies of efficacy of emergency contraception and want to test for trend by day's delay in treatment within each study.
using nick cox's FAQ: Is there a way to tell Stata to try all values of a particular variable in a foreach statement without specifying them?
. levelsof study, local(levelstud)
`"Ashok 2002"' `"Creinin 2006"' `"Ellertson 2003"' `"Fine 2010"' `"Glasier 2010"' `"Hamoda 2004"' `"Ho&Kwan 1993"' `"WHO 19
> 98"' `"von Hertzen 2002"'
. foreach l of local levelstud {
2. ptrend p1 np1 day if study == `l'
3. }
Ashok not found
r(111);
where am i going wrong?
thanks,
paul
