We need to know more about how -hour- is defined and measured. Is it a time since some zero, or a duration? Show a segment of your data for one subject.
Hoffman, George
I've got a panel dataset (xt) uniquely identified by subject (id) and time (hour), sorted by id hour.
I'd like to generate a variable that counts the cumulative (within id, across hour) number of hours that a variable is less than 50.
My code so far:
gen varxl50 = varx <50 if varx <.
bysort patnum (hour): gen varxl50sum = sum(varxl50)
I'm running into problems because of missing values I think.
Does this code look right?
Is there a mode succinct way to code this?
