What I mean is that, say I have no. of observation of full sample is 1000. This full sample is divided into 2 sub-samples where the total no. of observation of these 2 sub-samples is less than 1000, say 950. Is there any technical explanation on this?

A sub-sample of a sample will, by definition, be smaller than the sample, won't it? -----Original Message----- From: owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu [mailto:owner-statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu] On Behalf Of Hamizah Hassan Sent: Tuesday, 22 May 2012 9:29 AM To: statalist@hsphsun2.harvard.edu Subject: st: No. of observations Greetings, I have an issue that has been questioned where the no. of observations of my full sample and sub-sample (of a variable) are not the same, i.e. the total observations of my sub-sample is lesser than the full sample. How could I explain this? Thank you.
