In Stata, this is only possible in years are in different observations (long form), not in different variables (wide form). For example, we may want to create a line graph from a variable. We will reshape the data in the tidy format.Дifferent shapes of the data are useful for different tasks. This is the opposite of вЂњ tidy data,вЂќ where each variable has its own column, and different observations such as different years are in separate rows. Variables are in separate rows, whereas years are in separate columns. If we subtract the mean of a variable, the difference will be mean zero. generate difference_censusyear = censusyear - mean_censusyear egen mean_censusyear = mean(censusyear), by(region) There are many functions to be used in egen count, min, max, sum and mean are the most commonly used. The command egen creates a new variable with the aggregated statistics. egen average_census_year = mean(censusyear), by(incomegroup) egen n_country = count(countrycode), by(incomegroup) To filter out observations, use drop if and keep if. Stata will keep, or drop, all variables starting with the variable to the left of the - and ending with the variable to the right of the. Similarly, you can use the - character to keep or drop variables in the dataset. You can use variable name wildcards with both commands ( drop latest*). Only use them if your work is easy to reproduce if you make an error, such as right after loading a dataset. The commands keep and drop irreversibly change the data in your memory. keep countrycode shortname region incomegroup censusyear We will not use most of them, so letвЂ™s drop them.
