Calcite | Level 5
I have observations for one variable and two additional variables representing two separate classes.

I would like to create a variable D, representing a ratio that relates an observation for variable var A in class B = 1 to observation for var A in class B = 0 given that A and B are in class C.

The data set might look something like:
varA varB varC
1 1 1
2 1 1
3 0 1
4 1 2
5 1 2
6 0 2
7 1 3
8 1 3
9 0 3

varD:
(1/3)
(2/3)
(4/6)
(5/6)
(7/9)
(8/9)

thanks much for any help
