Hi All,
Recently I need to publish some dataset online. However, the unique identifier of my dataset contains some sensitive information that I am not expected to share. There are certain patterns inherent in the existing identifier variable that I do not want to share. I am wondering if Stata can help to create a new/alternative unique identifier based on existing identifier and can work to identify each observations (with duplicate observations)?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
