The commands here are also faster than the commands provided byftools; further,gtoolscommands take a mix of string and numeric variables, which is a limitation offtools. (Note I could not get several parts offtoolsworking on the Linux server where I have access to Stata/MP; hence the IC ...
Recoding Variables The recode command is used to group a numeric variable into categories. Suppose for example a fertility survey has age in single years for women aged 15 to 49, and you would like to code it into 5-year age groups. You could, of course, use something like gen age5= ...
You can create levels based on one or more variables, and on numeric or string variables, butnoton combinations of both. Thus, you can't do something likefcollapse price, by(make foreign)because make is string and foreign is numeric. This is due to a limitation in Mata and is probably...
