Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the -expgen- package is now
available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do
this.
The -expgen- package is an extended version of -expand-, and is
described as below on my website. The new version is written in Stata
Version 9, and has a Stata 9 on-line help file. However, users of Stata
versions 6, 7 and 8 can still download the old Stata 6 version from my
website by typing, in Stata,
net from http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/stata6/
and then selecting and downloading the -expgen- package available there.
Best wishes

TITLE
expgen: Duplicate observations and add generated variables
DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
The program expgen is an extended version of expand. It replaces
each
observation in the current dataset with multiple copies of the
observation,
sorted in the order of the original observations. It can also
generate new
variables, including a variable containing the sequential order of
a
duplicate observation in the set of duplicate observations from
the same
original observation (so that if the old observation has k
duplicates, then
these duplicates are numbered from 1 to k in the new variable).
expgen is
useful if the user has a dataset of repeated measures. For
instance, in a
medical setting, the original dataset may contain one observation
per
patient, and multiple variables containing repeated measures on
the same
patient, and the user may want to expand the original dataset into
a new
dataset, with one observation per repeated measure.
