Hi I have two questions 1. I am working on a panel data, the variable *"A" *has some values as "missing" denoted by "." and others are "non-missing values". I wish to create another variable *"B" *from the variable *"A" *such that all the missing values are assigned as "ZERO" (0) and all the non-missing values as "ONE" (1). This is preparation for running a probit regression with B as the dependant variable and hence we need 0<B<1. The expected outcome should look like below:
* A* *B * . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 .6931472 1 . 0 . 0 . 0 .6931472 1 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 . 0 1.098612 1 2. How do I then see (what command) whether the desired outcome for B has occured or not, in other words how do we tabulate B? Kindly provide the commands/operations needed to attain the above -- Dr.Saurav Pathak PhD, Univ.of.Florida Mechanical Engineering Doctoral Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Imperial College Business School s.patha...@imperial.ac.uk 0044-7795321121 [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
