Dear Stata Users,

Assume that we have a matrix

1 1 0 28
1 1 1 27
2 0 0 26
2 1 1 25

In a corresponding Stata data set the first column is the variable -id-, the second is the variable -occ-, the third -ocx- and the fourth -day-

I want to obtain a matrix like that:

1 2 1 28
2 1 1 26

In the standard Stata language this is easy:
. collapse (sum) occ ocx (max) day, by(id)

I wonder how the same result can be obtained in mata?

Best wishes

Enzo
