Hello all,
I would like to drop certain observations from my database and I am not sure how to do so.
My data consists of stock' ticker, dates, additional date variable, and a binary variable which equals 1 if the additional date variable is equal to the date under each ticker
for example:
Name Date date1 binary
apple 01jan2010 . 0
apple 02jan2010 02jan2010 1
apple 03jan2010 . 0
google 01jan2010 . 0
google 02jan2010 . 0
google 03jan2010 03jan2010 1
tesla 01jan2010 . 0
tesla 02jan2010 . 0
tesla 03jan2010 . 0
I would like to drop every stock that has no date1 (or binary=1) observations, so in the case of my example, that would mean drop all the observations of tesla.
Note: I would like to keep the observations of the other stocks, even though some of them do not coincide with date1.
additional note: 1 observation is enough to keep the stock in the dataset.
result:
Name Date date1 binary
apple 01jan2010 . 0
apple 02jan2010 02jan2010 1
apple 03jan2010 . 0
google 01jan2010 . 0
google 02jan2010 . 0
google 03jan2010 03jan2010 1
Thank you all!
