Subject | st: Creating a variable with a value conditional on other variables |
Date | Sat, 9 Apr 2011 13:05:54 +0200 |
Hi, I'm new to Stata and am having a hard time figuring out a relatively simple problem. I'm experienced with other programming languages and SQL so pseudo code may get my point across more clearly. foreach(observation) { variable Xi = average(Y) if A != Ai } Basically it would go over every observation and create a variable of the average of some other variable NOT INCLUDING the variable's value for the current row. So X is the average of Y for all observations EXCEPT the current one.
