Re: st: creating an array with hospitalization days

[jean ries <jean.ries@gmail.com>]

Maria,

I think that our problem is best solved if you are using "long" instead 
of "wide" data. But as Nick Cox has pointed out, you probably won't  
need all these extra variables.

. gen begin = admitday - mdy(10,1,2000) + 1
. gen end = disday - mdy(10,1,2000) + 1
. expand 365
. sort study_id
. by study_id: gen daynumber = _n
. by study_id: gen day = inrange(daynumber,begin,end)
. reshape wide day , i(study_id) j(daynumber)


best wishes,

jean
