  • How to Mark the Demoted Students Out in Long Format Data in Stata?

    Hello, Folks,
    I have a small dataset like this,
    clear
    input byte (id year gr kg5 k68 k912)

    6 10 7 0 0 0
    end

    please run the Stata code below to remove extra variables in the data set,
    drop k*

    The student with ID==6 is a demoted student, as can be seen from the data, the student went back to 7th grade after finishing 8th grade.
    The student with ID=3/5 is just a regular student who repeated grades.
    As for the students with ID=2/4, the student is both a repeated student and a demoted student.
    All scenarios above were regarded as "REPEATED".
    What I want is to correctly use a binary variable "REPEATED" indicating if a student repeated grades in a specific grade (REPEATED==1; REPEATED==0; if gr is missing value, then REPEATED==missing value).
    Thanks for your Stata code!
