Thank you Nick for the reply
I am trying to work on the solution that you suggested
You are right, these are ICD 9 codes ( as strings) .
Also, some of the patients have repeat admissions(I found out while working on the dataset)
Hence, the new/updated dataset is as follows
----------------------------------------------------
Observation var1 var2 var3 var4 var5
----------------------------------------------------
Patient 1 560.9 596.1 568 . 305.1
Patient 2 355.8 441.4 496 . 530.81
Patient 1 530.81 . . .
Patient 3 568 530.81 . 414
Patient 4 701.9 565.1 . . .
Patient 3 714 . 530.81 493.9 729.1
Pateint 3 564 . 305.1 789.04 .
----------------------------------------------------
Question: Is there a stata code which can tell me the top 5 most common values occuring among the all the variables (var1-var)
Thank you
Sincerely
Anwar
