I have a longitudinal dataset with time variables (months) and event (0,1)...
How can I create a data table showing the time as when the event occurred and if the event did not occur the last follow-up time.
This is how the data looks.
ID Time Event
1 0 0
1 1 0
1 2 1
1 3 1
1 4 1
2 0 0
2 1 0
2 2 0
2 3 0
2 4 0
I want the data to look like:
ID time event
1 2 1
2 4 0
Thanks
Here is one way:
data want (drop=_:); set have; retain _need; by id; if first.id then _need=1; if _need and (event eq 1 or last.id) then do; output; _need=0; end; run;

Another way:
data want;
set have;
by id event;
if (first.event=1 and event=1) or (last.id=1 and event=0);
run;
This assumes that once a record with event=1 occurs, then event stays at 1 for the remaining records of the id. And it assumes that data are sorted by ID.
