I do not think that your data setup is transparent to Statalisters, but
generally you can find out whether a nursing home is only represented once
via
*************
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r11/nlswork.dta
bys idcode: gen byte onlyonce=_N==1

Betreff: Re: st: AW: Combining two financial reports in the same calendar
year
Thank you everyone for responding, but now I have a new wrinkle. Some
of the nursing homes changed ownership and that is the reason some of
them have multiple financial reports in a given year. I do not want
to drop these observations as I need them later, but I want to exclude
them from my collapse commands.
I have used the following code suggested and I have found out the following:
(1)
sort oshpd_fac_no year,stable
br oshpd_fac_no year facility_name if (oshpd_fac_no==
oshpd_fac_no[_n-1]| oshpd_fac_no==oshpd_fac_no[_n+1]) &
(year==year[_n-1]|year==year [_n+1])
- This returns 460 observations, but not all of them are for nursing
homes that have more than one financial period in a calendar year
(i.e., some facilities with only one financial report are included in
the list).
(2)
I manually cut and pasted one nursing home's two financial reports (in
a single calendar year) into another opened version of Stata. I then
ran the following command:
collapse (rawsum) snf_medcare_days - total_op_rev (mean)
lic_bed_month_avg [aweight= days_in_rep_period] , by( oshpd_fac_no
year)
- I have checked the results and it has worked correctly.
My problem now is how do I "keep" only the observations where the
names match and there are more than one financial report per calendar
year? Second, how do I get the collapse results back into the master
data (i.e., how do I replace the 2 financial reports with my new
"collapse" results?)
Thank you,
Matt
