Hello list members.
I am new in this list, and a bit desperate with what I need to do. I need to
recode one variable and I cannot do it.
An extract of my data is as follows:
R_id Imp Ran Select
1 1 1,00 1,00
1 2 . ,00
1 3 . ,00
1 4 . ,00
1 5 . ,00
2 1 ,00 ,00
2 2 . ,00
2 3 . ,00
2 4 . ,00
2 5 . ,00
3 1 1,00 1,00
3 2 . ,00
3 3 . ,00
3 4 . ,00
3 5 . ,00
"R_id" stands for Respondent identification; as you can see there are five
cases per respondent, and each case is distinguished by the value of the
variable "Imp". The first case of every respondent has a value (0 or 1) in
the variable "Ran". What I need to do is to recode the variable "Select"
according to the value of "Ran": if "Ran" has the value 1 for the case
R_id=1 & Imp=1, I wish that "Select" takes the value 1 for all the remaining
cases of R_id=1.
Generalizing this, and appying the proper formula, the data should appear
like this:
R_id Imp Ran Select
1 1 1,00 1,00
1 2 . 1,00
1 3 . 1,00
1 4 . 1,00
1 5 . 1,00
2 1 ,00 ,00
2 2 . ,00
2 3 . ,00
2 4 . ,00
2 5 . ,00
3 1 1,00 1,00
3 2 . 1,00
3 3 . 1,00
3 4 . 1,00
3 5 . 1,00
Could anyone give an indication on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance.
