dear Nick,
each item is observed each week (for two years, so I have 106
observations for each supermarket in my sample), and belongs to a
family. The families include from one up to 16 items (the number of
items is not fixed for each fam). What follows is an example of a
family made up of three items
Code_item week Q P Code_family
789 1 8 2 1
790 1 25 4 1
791 1 9 1.3 1
789 2 12 2 1
790 2 2 3 1
791 2 20 1.2 1
and so forth for 106 times (each supermarket)
I'd like to regress Q on P (and other ctrl vbls, that I omit for
brevity) and the prices of the other two items (substitute goods), in
other words to have a dataset like follows:
Code_item week Q P Code_family P_1 P_2
789 1 8 2 1 4 1.3
790 1 25 4 1 2 1.3
791 1 9 1.3 1 2 4
789 2 12 2 1 3 1.2
790 2 2 3 1 2 1.2
791 2 20 1.2 1 2 3
thanks for your patience...
Quoting Nick Cox <[email protected]>:
Sorry, but this seems to imply as many predictors as observations,
which isn't a good idea.
Presumably you don't mean that, so you have tell us more about your
data structure for this to be clear to me.

dear Nick,
I'd like to estimate separate regressions, one for each family, hence the
number of predictors would be the same for each family
hope this clarifies
best

Quoting Nick Cox <[email protected]>:
In that case I really don't understand what you are seeking. See also
Yuval's comments.
I've never come across a model in which there are a different number
of predictors for different observations, although I am always happy
to be educated.
It seems to me that
1. Either you are applying a standard model, in which case you can
give literature references.
2. Or this is a new model, in which case you need to explain how it
would be set-up and estimated.
Note that it's easy to get variables such as the mean of the other
prices in the same family. See
FAQ . . Creating variables recording prop. of the other members of a
group

dear Nick,
thanks for your prompt reply. Unfortunately, the number of items is not
fixed
best regards

Quoting Nick Cox <[email protected]>:
This model formulation makes me feel a bit queasy, but I think what
you want is something like this.
Suppose for concreteness the number of items is fixed at 8. (I don't
see how this will work if the number is not fixed.) So, "for any value
of 8"
sort code_family code_item
forval i = 1/8 {
by code_family : gen P`i' = P[`i']
}
Note that, contrary to your title, there is no -reshape- here as you
want your observations to remain observations; at least that's my
understanding.

I have to estimate the equation
Q1=a+b1P1+b2P2+...bnPn+e
Where Q1 is the quantity of item 1 sold by a supermarket during a week
,
P1
is the price of item 1 in that week, the other prices are those of the
n
items belonging to the same family of items. My data set is organized
as
follows:
Code_item week Q P Code_family
789 1 8 2 1
790 1 25 4 1
791 1 9 1.3 1
792 1 12 2 1
800 1 7 2 2
801 1 20 1.2 2
802 1 11 1.6 2
803 1 12 2 2
And so forth for the other weeks and families...
For each item, how can I include in my regression the prices of the
other
(n-1) items of the same family, ignoring the prices of the items
belonging
to other families?
