How are people doing?
I kind of like taking class from bed
What happened to real snow days??
Sad there's no raffle and snacks this class :(
Just now realizing the Midterm is in 2 weeks...
All of the above.
Consider the following table from Question 1 of Homework 4.
Which substantive write-up is the BEST?
The preponderance of the sample (96.16%) have limited economic power.
The vast majority of the sample have limited economic power, meaning they had no savings and did not engage in wage earning activities.
At baseline, the preponderance of the sample (96.16%) have limited economic power, meaning they had no savings and did not engage in wage earning activities.
Question 1 of the homework asked you to create a new variable (econpower) based on the variables wknt1 and savnt1.
You do NOT need to make any changes to savnt1 and wknt1 in order create econpower.
True or False: You MUST still create new variables (Ex. gen wknt1_d = wknt1) before creating econpower.
True
False
Question 1 from homework asked you to recode econpower into the following categories:
0 “no savings account and no wage earning”
1 “has savings account, but not engaged in wage earning”
2 “engaged in wage earning, but no savings account”
3 “has both savings account and is engaged in wage earning”
Identify the red flag from the following output.
Most of the sample does not have savings and is not engaged in wage earning.
There are values outside of the theoretical range.
The N is wrong.
What is the red flag in this output?
There is an unusually large amount of missing data!
The N is wrong.
There is no missing data.
Check out this syntax. What essential step is missing?
Checking recodes with tab or tab1
Renaming q37a_d to q37a & q37b_d to q37b
Nothing! This looks perfect.
Which is NOT a way to create a new variable?
Start from scratch
gen q40a = .
Make an exact copy
gen q40a = q40
Do the math
q40a = q39a + q39b + q39c
Change the name
rename q40 q40a
