Hi

I have working on Panel data. For some of the individuals starting and
ending values are missing. I have to fill these values by first
calculating the growth of the known five values.

Like for the individual Aqueela values for the year 1996 – 2000 are
missing. I will first calculate the growth rate of values from
1991-1995. The growth rate is 1.05%.now the value in 1996 = value in
1995*(1+growth rate).

And value in 1997= value in 1996 * (1+growth rate).

And so on.

For the second individual starting values are missing from 1990-1994.
First I will have to find the r=growth rate of values from 1995-1999.
Than the value in 1994 =value in 1995/(1+ growth rate) and

value in 1995 =value in 1996/(1+ growth rate) and so on.

I only have to fill in the missing values if the no of missing values
is less than or equal to five.
