Hi all,
I am trying to create a dummy variable based on the particular combination of two other dummy variables.
Based on the example data set below, I have created a group id called as 'idtemp' based on the combination of three variables - state, year and const. The variable called 'order' explains the rank of the individual, therefore if order=1, he/she is the winner and if order=2, the individual is the loser. With each id('idtemp'), there is only one winner and one loser.
Now, I would like to create a dummy variable within each id, based on the following set of combinations. Let's call the dummy variable I intend to create as 'temp' and I want temp=1 for the following two set of combinations within each id.
1. "within each id", if the dummy1=1 for the winner(order=1) and dummy2=1 for the loser(order=2), then I want temp=1, and
2. "within each id", if the dummy1=1 for the loser(order=2) and dummy2=1 for the winner(order=1), then also I would like to set temp=1.
Therefore in the example dataset below, the variable 'temp' takes on 1, for the idtemp values of 3, 4 and 15, as the required condition has been satisfied. And for all other ids the variable 'temp' has been set as zero
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Regards
