Basically, I have one dataset with ID, starting time A, ending time A, and another dataset with ID, starting time B, ending time B. I need to combine these two datasets on the overlapping period of time and generate a dummy variable that equals one if there is any overlapping period for the same ID. Here is an example:
Dataset A
Code:
clear input byte id float(startdateA enddateA) 1 16071 16437 2 16406 16496 3 16437 16527 end format %td startdateA format %td enddateA
Dataset B
Code:
clear input byte id float(startdateB enddateB) 1 16050 16430 2 17000 17200 3 16400 16550 end format %td startdateB format %td enddateB
What I want to end up with:
Code:
clear input byte id float(startdateA enddateA startdateB enddateB overlap) 1 16071 16437 16050 16430 1 2 16406 16496 . . 0 3 16437 16527 16400 16550 1 end format %td startdateA startdateB format %td enddateA enddateB
Thank you!
