Attempting to Use gen command with imputed data

[roxy kallsen]

Dear Stata Users,

I am trying to run a difference-score or a change-score method on imputed data with the following syntax

gen total=infractions1+infractions2 
gen contact0=contact2-contact1
gen pwas0=pwas2-pwas1
gen therapy0=therapy2-therapy1

blogit infractions2 total
blogit infractions2 total contact0 pwas0 therapy0 miles age length race

I have tried a few modifications to the syntax by first converting my wide imputed data into flong and then using the mi estimate: gen... but that didn't seem to work. I tried reshaping the data to long and using bys ID: gen... and that did not work either. What is the best way to modified this syntax to fit imputed data?


Thank you for your time and cooperation,

Roxy

I am not clear on what you are trying to do but I think the following will help:

help mi_passive

Hi Rich Goldstein,

I was able to create the new variable using mi xeq command.


Thank you.
