using sqset

[Sandi Mills]

Hello,

I am trying to sqset my data to use sequence analysis. I have installed Sq Ados. My data looks like the following:
id course
123456 678
123456 788
123456 788
234567 122
234567 222
etc
How would I proceed?
Thanks so much!

sqset wants state/id/time variables. You have the first two, but you need a time or sequence order variable.

by id: gen t = _n
sqset course id t

However, for most purposes the state space needs to be relatively small, so you might need to simplify your course variable first.
