Hi,
I am looking for stata's command in order to group many variables into
one. Let's say we have: roads, water , electricity, and we want to
group them into one variable: infrastructures.
could someone help me with the command?
thanks
Does -egen- with the group function do what you want? e.g.
. webuse nhanes2f, clear
. egen grp = group(sex race), label
. tab1 grp
-> tabulation of grp
group(sex |
race) | Freq. Percent Cum.
-------------+-----------------------------------
Male White | 4,306 41.66 41.66
Male Black | 500 4.84 46.49
Male Other | 103 1.00 47.49
Female White | 4,745 45.90 93.39
Female Black | 586 5.67 99.06
Female Other | 97 0.94 100.00

Total | 10,337 100.00
