Hello,
I am trying to insert a new variable into the existing data file.
Which looks like this:
t0 t1 id seqvar fam95 fam96 fam97 fam98 dur
34 35 1 1 1 1 1 0 1
0 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 3
0 2 2 2 1 1 0 0 3
0 2 2 3 1 1 0 0 3
56 58 3 1 0 0 0 1 3
56 58 3 2 0 0 0 1 3
56 58 3 3 0 0 0 1 3
I want to generate a new variable that marks the spells belonging to a
certain period, like this (year):
t0 t1 id seqvar fam95 fam96 fam97 fam98 dur year
34 35 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 98
0 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 3 95
0 2 2 2 1 1 0 0 3 95
0 2 2 3 1 1 0 0 3 96
56 58 3 1 0 0 0 1 3 99
56 58 3 2 0 0 0 1 3 00
56 58 3 3 0 0 0 1 3 00
But the spells are often longer than than the periods.
Has somebody a idea how to do this?
regards,
andrea
