Re: st: Question regarding "multiple responses"

["Michael N. Mitchell" <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Greetings

  I wonder if the -tablist- command might help you with this, see

. net install tablist, from(http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ado/analysis)

  It allows you to create n-way tables in a tabular format. So, you could do something like

. tablist econ soc engin father mother professor friend

  However, I think such a table could get unwieldy and sparse very quickly. But, this 
might be insightful...

. tablist econ soc engin father

. tablist econ soc engin mother

. tablist econ soc engin professor

. tablist econ soc engin friend

  So, this would show you the conference participation (for all categories) broken down 
by each method of how you heard about the conference.

  I hope that is helpful.

Best regards,

Michael N. Mitchell
