st: Insert new observation by group
Date

Dear all,
I'm trying to create a new observation for each group in my data, but
I haven't been able to do so. I tried using -ingap- but didn't work
because
it inserts the new observation at the top of the group or after the
first observation.
My data looks as follows:
group y x
1 1 10
1 2 10
1 2 10
2 3 8
2 1 8
What I want is to insert a new observation at the end of each group,
and this observation must be the difference between "x" (in my case
this is 10 for group one and 8 for group two) and the sum of "y"
(6 for group one and 3 for group two). So, the idea is that the final
dataset should look as follows
group y x
1 1 10
1 2 10
1 2 10
1 5 10
2 3 8
2 1 8
2 4 8
Any ideas? Thanks,
Fernando
