I am having trouble running a foreach loop. The loop runs without error but gives no output. Can someone tell me what they think might be going on? Many thanks in advance! Here is the code: cd "O:\RESEARCH\ikhilko\Subway Big Data project" local datafiles : dir . files "*.txt" foreach file in `datafiles' { insheet using `file', clear insheet using `file', drop v9-v43 save date1, replace } UPDATE: Interestingly, the code runs when I just type it into the command line, rather than doing it from the .do file, any idea what might be going on there? It is important to note that local macros are

I have a set of csv files that are very simple to load into Stata using the -insheet- command. But they have very uninformative variable names. For each of these files, I also have a file of metadata consisting of two columns: the original (uninformative) variable names, and a description of what the variables actually mean. I'd like to use these metadata files to create variable labels, preferably without going through and typing up all the separate label commands or turning the metadata file into a dictionary for each file. It seems like there must be a quick way of loading the metadata file

This question already has an answer here : How to export Spearman correlations (1 answer) Closed 3 months ago . I need to get a Spearman and Pearson correlation table using Stata. Here is what I did to get the results in a table format. estpost correlate sp_rating srating mrating split split_neg split_ord split_neg_ord tier1_risk tier1_leverage st1 sl mt1 ml adt1 adl dt1 dl offering_amt maturity2 security enhance timeliness validity disc loan_at cash_dep trading_at real_est intangible other_at sec_sum assets_sold all_residual secinc_ta, matrix quietly esttab . using "root4.rtf", replace notype

I have the following data: id tests testvalue 1 A 4 1 B 5 1 C 3 1 D 3 2 A 3 2 B 3 3 C 3 3 D 4 4 A 3 4 B 5 4 A 1 4 B 3 I would like to change the above long data format into following wide data. id testA testB testC testD index 1 4 5 3 3 1 2 3 3 . . 2 3 . . 3 4 3 4 3 5 . . 4 4 1 3 . . 5 I am trying reshape wide testvalue, i(id) j(tests) It gives error because there are no unique values within tests . What would be the solution to this problem? You need to create an extra identifier to make replicates distinguishable. clear input id str1 tests testvalue 1 A 4 1 B 5 1 C 3 1 D 3 2 A 3 2 B 3 3 C 3

Stata allows for fixed effects and random effects specification of the logistic regression through the xtlogit fe and xtlogit re commands accordingly. I was wondering what are the equivalent commands for these specifications in R. The only similar specification I am aware of is the mixed effects logistic regression mymixedlogit <- glmer(y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 + (1 | x4), data = d, family = binomial) but I am not sure whether this maps to any of the aforementioned commands. The glmer command is used to quickly fit logistic regression models with varying intercepts and varying slopes (or, equivalently

I'm trying to use the tabulate command in Stata to create a time series of frequencies. The problem arises when I try to combine the output of tabulate after running through each date. tabulate will not include 0 as an entry when no observation exists for a value of the variable in question. For instance, if I wanted to count the 10, 11 and 12 year olds in a class over a three-year period Stata might output (8) if only one of the groups were represented and thus we don't know which group the 8 students belonged to: it could be (0,8,0) or (0,0,8). This is not a problem if the time series is

I am using Stata 12. I have encountered the following problems. I am importing a bunch of .csv files to Stata using the insheet command. The datasets may conclude Russian, Croatian, Turkish, etc. I think they are encoded in "UTF-8". In .csv files, they are correct. After I imported them into Stata, the original strings are incorrect and become the strange characters. Would you please help me with that? Does Stat-Transfer can solve the problems? Does it support .csv format? For example, the original file is like: My code is like: insheet using name.csv, c n save name.dta,replace The result is
