Hi,
Could anyone point me in the right direction for tips on plotting outbreak/ epidemic charts in Stata?
I need to represent the distribution in time of numbers of cases of illness due to four different genotypes of an organism, as a stacked bar using onset-date as the x-axis. The time-series bar-chart option doesn't let me stack the numbers of cases due to each different genotype. I have also tried using the 'Stack bars on y variables' option in the bar graph menu, but am struggling with achieving a good format for an onset-date categorical axis using this chart.
I saw an earlier post on a similar subject which recommended summing variables to achieve the same effect with an overlay time-series bar chart, but I don't think this would be an option with my data (because for a number of onset dates there is only 1 genotype variable present).
Any advice appreciated.
Simon.
