Re: st: cell names for results generated from user-written package 'markov'

- Nick,

Thank you for your reply.

Sometimes less is more.

The problem with the -xttrans- I'm facing is that it requires that
panel data be declared with -xtset-

What is particular with my data set is that it records choices by
different subjects and sometimes dates are the same. I have large
number of subjects, so -by- command will not be useful. I am
interested in the changes between choices on average, so I added
missing values to break between subjects.

This is little unconventional, and I cannot find a way to tweak
-xtset- for this particular case.

Thanks,
Milena
