In Stat 9.2, how can I use the values of v2 (str 40, say) to label v1
(int)?  My data looks something like this:

V1      V2
1234    somerandomstring1
1234    somerandomstring1
2345    somerandomstring2
....
6578    somerandomstringn
....
etc.

I tried to encode v2 and then attach the resulting label to v1.  I
encoded v2 all right, but then got stumped by how correctly to link the
labels to the values of v1.  Encoding v2 gave me labels numbered 1 to
xxx, but v1 is a four digit number (although it does take exactly xxx
distinct values).

Many thanks!

Subject: RE: st: Calculating Percent Change In Regression Coeffecients

On a different note, why this interest in percent change in coefficient
as a metric?

I make three elementary comments.

1. The behaviour of ratios can be complicated already. This measure is a
ratio calculated from ratios.

2. Specifically, is the behaviour as the denominator goes from small
positive through zero to small negative regarded as a feature?

3. There is a lack of symmetry in the calculation.

I can imagine a practical argument that (1) and
(2) do not matter for the application, and (3) might be irrelevant given
a time order, but I wouldn't put much weight on this measure.
