Re: st: how to generate mean for a secquence of five year of a variable

[Oliver Jones <ojones@wiwi.uni-bielefeld.de>]

Just to clarify, do mean something like this?



You have:

id	time	var1
1	1980	3
1	1981	6
1	1982	8
1	1983	4
1	1984	2
(all the other years...)
1	2000	8
1	2001	7
1	2002	8
1	2003	9
1	2004	3




And you want:

id	time	var1	var2
1	1980	3	mean_up_to_1985
1	1981	6	mean_up_to_1986
1	1982	8	mean_up_to_1987
1	1983	4	mean_up_to_1988
1	1984	2	mean_up_to_1989
(all the other years...)
1	2000	8	.
1	2001	7	.
1	2002	8	.
1	2003	9	.
1	2004	3	.

where the "." is meaning missing.

Best
Oliver
