Hi all,
I have data set that look like this:
Is there a command that creates a new variable x which contains a randomly chosen non-missing value of the variables x1 to x5. (And if all of x1 to x5 are missing (think D), x should also be missing.)
Is there a simple solution to this problem, think -egen x = rowrandom(x1 x2 x3 x4 x5)-?
Thanks
Go
