Hi team,

I am trying to develop cross-sectional weight for all baseline participants (for wave1) in the longitudinal study where data is considered as repeacted cross-secitonal data. We have completed 13 waves of the study. Could you please suggest how do I use ebalance command to get this weight?

Do I consider wave1 as treatment and rest of the waves are control and use ebalance treatment agegroup gender state, targets(1)

OR

ebalance agegroup gender srate, manualtarget(1 1 1).

I have three categories of agegroup, two categories of gender and 7 categories for state variable.

Your suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Pragya
