Dear Statalist,
I am working at the three level model(school, student and item).Thus, I
need to collapse the data at level two because there are many students at
the same school get the same response to each item.
However, when I collapse, I need to generate the student id for each
school. For example, I have 20 students in each school. Thus, in school1,
the student id shoul be 1-20 or less than 20. Then school 2, the student
id should be start at 1-20 or less than 20, etc.
When I use the command
gen cons=1
collapse (count) wt2=cons,by(schid,item)
gen stuid=_n
Then the output gives me the stuid from 1- 789( the last observations)
Could any one give me a suggestion please?
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestion,
Sincerely Yours,
saengla
