Hi,
I have a question.
I have identifiers ranking from 1 to 9882 on 4940 observations.
I have issued a command:
assert hid[_n-1]~=hid[_n]
and got a error message:
(6 contradictions in 4940 observations).
when I list:
list if hid[_n-1]==hid[_n]
I have:
hid
.3902 3902
.4185 4186
.4231 4231
.4838 4837
.4884 4882
.4931 4929
I do not have a perfect merge so I guess the problem comes from
there.
But I wonder why stata get confused. The values of hid are not identical.
Or am I too tired...
Thanks in advanced.
