Subject | st: Insert new observation by group |
Date | Wed, 2 Nov 2011 16:13:45 -0500 |
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?
