My following question may be easy but I could not find a direct command to achieve it. We all know there are two command -- contract & collapse -- that are powerful in creating frequencies and summary statistics. What I want is a way to create frequencies of some variables, and in the same time, to create summary statistics of another certain variable. It would be in someway a combination of contract and collapse. The result will like this:
Code:
sysuse bplong preserve contract sex agegrp when restore preserve collapse bp, by( sex agegrp when ) restore
Code:
* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex clear input byte(sex agegroup when freq) float bp 0 1 1 20 153.45 0 1 2 20 146.45 0 2 1 20 159.05 0 2 2 20 157.25 0 3 1 20 165.3 0 3 2 20 162.85 1 1 1 20 149.9 1 1 2 20 142.2 1 2 1 20 151.15 1 2 2 20 144.3 1 3 1 20 159.85 1 3 2 20 155.1 end label values sex sex label def sex 0 "Male", modify label def sex 1 "Female", modify label values agegroup agegroup label def agegroup 1 "30-45", modify label def agegroup 2 "46-59", modify label def agegroup 3 "60+", modify label values when when label def when 1 "Before", modify label def when 2 "After", modify
