Dear Nicholas,
I have 7 different variables (fever 1, fever 2, fever 3….fever7) with the same output (0=No, 1 = Yes). I want to combine all these variables so that i can calculate prevalence of the morbidity. For example:
Fever 1-7 give the output:
m_fever1 | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 50 14.3 14.7
2 | 300 85.7 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 350 100.00
m_fever2 | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 0 0 0
2 | 350 100.00 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 350 100.00
m_fever3 | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 100 28.6 28.6
2 | 250 71.4 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 350 100.00
How can i combine the 3 tables above to give me the following table?
m_fever | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 150 14.3 14.7
2 | 900 85.7 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 1050 100.00
I have been trying to find something the entire day but haven't been successful. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Astha.
