Are there commands in Stata that are similar to the kml3d package in R (see e.g. Genolini et al 2015) for cluster analysis of longitudinal data? I would like to conduct unsupervised (to begin with) machine learning to identify an unknown number of clusters based on common characteristics of women's trajectories, analyzing approximately 60 months of data for each case. My understanding is that using the cluster kmeans commands (Makles 2012) is inappropriate with longitudinal data and won't help me achieve my research objectives. Have there been any developments since cluster kmeans were introduced? I couldn't find what I am looking for elsewhere on this forum. I'm hoping to use Stata for this study rather than R since that is what the rest of my team uses and I prefer it as well. Any leads? Thanks!
