*THOSE NOT MATCHED DO NOT HAVE CONFLICT, SO ASSIGN VALUE 0. *ONLY COUNTRIES IN UCDP/PRIO HAVE CONFLICTS. *THUS YOU MAY NEED TO RENAME COUNTRIES BEFORE LINKING WITH OTHER DATA *SOME COUNTRY NAMES DIFFER WITH COUNTRY NAMES IN OTHER DATASETS, E.G., WORLD BANK DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS Keep country conflict_id year intensity type_of_conflict The output of dataex will look something like the following.
When asking for help with code, always show example data.īy default dataex will output the first 100 observations, but this can be changed using if and in and the obs() option. It also makes it possible for those who want to help you to create a faithful representation of your example to try out their code, which in turn makes it more likely that their answer will actually work in your data.
It includes complete information about aspects of the data that are often critical to answering your question but cannot be seen from tabular displays or screenshots. dataex will save you time it is easier and quicker than typing out tables. Either way, run help dataex and read the simple instructions for using it. If not, run ssc install dataex to get it. If you are running version 17, 16 or a fully updated version 15.1 or 14.2, dataex is already part of your official Stata installation. In order to get a helpful response, you need to show some example data.īe sure to use the dataex command to do this. There are many ways your data might be organized that are consistent with your description, and each would require a somewhat different approach.
Even the best descriptions of data are no substitute for an actual example of the data. Show example data.ĭescriptions of data are well-meant but insufficient to help those who want to help you. Your question really isn't clear without more detail, or at a minimum it is too difficult to guess at a good answer from what you have shared.
