Hello all,
There don't seem to have stata command or module to get rid of weekend data although I think I have just enough way to do it using some technique. I would like to present my solution in hope that I would get some feedback
and other solutions. Say my dataset looks like
date
03jan2012
04jan2012
05jan2012
06jan2012
07jan2012
08jan2012
gen dow=dow(date)
drop if dow==0 => to drop sunday
drop if dow==6 => to drop saturday
Thanx...
Tashi
