Re: st: Cross Tabulation with more than 2 variables

[Christoph Engel <engel@coll.mpg.de>]

Dear Nick,

Thank you for the ultrarapid response. Your FAQ site triggered the idea 
how to solve the problem in my case:

preserve

gen id = _n

renvars var_a var_b ... var_x \ corr1 - corr10

forvalues i = 1/10 {
    gen int excl`i' = .
    }

forvalues i = 1/10 {
    forvalues j = 1/10 {
        qui count if corr`i' == 1 & corr`j' == 1
        replace excl`i' = r(N) if id == `j'
        }
    }

list excl1 - excl15 in 1/10

restore


Maybe others find this useful in the future

Best

Christoph
