"t" is time (let's say, by month); "idd" identifies a

family; "i" an individual in the family;

"V1", "v2" are variables about characteristics of

individuals. The panel is formulated in

a rotating basis: families are observed no more than 4

times (months) in a year. In my table

they would be the variable "ob". However, the observation

are not taken in a row. They "jump"

some months (like month 3 in my example), where the

members of the family are not observed. I do not have the

variables "Vn" and "ob".

Question:

How to create two variables, 1) "vn": 2) "ob" ) for each

individual saying:

1) "vn" : a sequence (_n) of the months that the

individuals are observed. For instance, in the

time "t" the individuals of the family were not observed.

2) "ob" : the total number (_N) of times that the

individual were observed. Note that in some

variables the values are (.), but the individual was

observed.

sincerely,

ricardo
