sample 100, count From: Nick Cox References: . A) Use keep and drop with an if statement to subset observations. We begin with the dataset we created in the last section. Create a new data set that contains only one variable, id, and contains only the 40 particular id's that you want to keep. st: Looping within a subset under a certain condition. Stata has two subpopulation options that are very flexible and easy to use. I would like to create a subset of data in which all the observations related to a unique id are maintained if in one of the observations related to the unique id meets a certain criterion. I could just delete the first year, but then the model becomes useless because there are too few observations, i somehow need to take the model built around all the observations and then restrict the sample size to 1994-1996 Dear statalists, I have a question of how to run -ttest- for a subset of observations. If I wanted to perform a regression on the observations of years 1994 to 1996, instead of the entire dataset, whats the command? When the commands keep and drop are specified without variable names, they keep and drop observations according to some condition specified in an if statement. list if radius >= 3000) infile : read non-Stata-format dataset (ASCII or text file) input : type in raw data : list : lists the whole dataset in memory (you can also list only certain variables) log : save or print Stata ouput (except graphs) lookup for those 2992 companies ("Violators") who did violate a covenant at least once. for which "newviol" equals "1", i.e. use hs1, clear . So, my question is: How can I create a subset of my data which includes only the companies who did violate a covenant, but not only the obs. ps I work in Stata 13.1/IC on Mac. I have data of several hundred thousand observations which I have partitioned into a few thousand different groups. I know I can drop duplicates, but I need them later. Thank you! Then open (-use-) your original data set in Stata and run In Stata, the .sample command selects random samples of the data set in memory and removes unselected observations from the data set.. I am using Stata and I need to subset my data. 0. for which the dummy variable equals "1", but all obs. First, load a data set, and then run the following command with the count option:. Stata: Generating variables in a loop using tuples local macro. Is there a way to do e.g. Re: st: Looping within a subset under a certain condition. Follow-Ups: . In Stata, words are or could be separated by spaces (other than being bound by double quotes); in the case of Stata variable names, distinct variable names are always distinct words. However for some of my analysis I only want to display the observations that have a unique id. From: "Gerard Solbrig" Re: st: Looping within a subset ⦠I tried to add -if- after -ttest-, as the way in regression, but stata shows that -if- cannot follow -ttest-. While it would be easy to keep only the obs. ... Local macros for subset of observations. 1. Using the subpopulation option(s) is extremely important when analyzing survey data. Any thoughts? Save that data set: I'll call it keepers.dta. 2.0 Demonstration and explanation. lets you select a subset of observations (e.g. tab of only the observations with a unique id? Suppose you want to randomly draw a sample of 100 observations from the current data set. 3917 obs., I want to keep all obs. Here's another approach. For each group, I would like to determine the mean of a variable from all other observations in the group that are within a certain percentage of the focal observation's value, but excluding the focal observation from the mean.
