industry dummies

[mei]

Dear Sir,

I wish to create industry dummies from the 64602 observations from file industry.sum below:

Column 1=observation no,

column 2: industries code var=sic2;

column 3= frequencies of each industries

my industries dummy should be coded as ind01, ind02, ind03 ...ind72, ie following the observation no, instead of following the sic2 codes.

I have the following codes but i m not sure how do i modify the prog codes to following the observation no, pls help me:

proc sql noprint;

select distinct cats('ind',sic2) into : list separated by ' ' from industry.sum;

quit;

data industry.spi;

set spi.spi5;

array _y &list ;

do over _y;

  _y=ifn(sic2=compress(vname(_y),,'kd'), 1,0);

end;

run;

or using codes as below:

data industry.spi2;

set spi.spi5;

array _y{*} &list ;

do i=1 to dim(_y);

  _y{i}=0 ;

end;

do i=1 to dim(_y);

  if fyear=input(compress(vname(_y{i}),'yr'),best8.) then _y{i}=1;

end;

  drop i;

run;

EASY.

data industry.spi;

length dummy $ 10;

set spi.spi5;

dummy=cats('ind',put(obs,z3.));

array _y &list ;

do over _y;

  _y=ifn(sic2=compress(vname(_y),,'kd'), 1,0);

end;

run;

Refer to the log:

NOTE: Variable obs is uninitialized.

Problem still exist: The output generated would have ind## following the sic2 code instead of observation# of industry.sum file.

To minimize misunderstanding, these are the codes i have applied:

proc sort data=spi.spi6;

by sic2 gvkey fyear;

run;

proc sql noprint;

select distinct cats('ind',sic2) into : list separated by ' ' from industry.sum;

quit;

data industry.spi4;

length dummy $ 10;

set spi.spi6;

dummy=cats('ind',put(obs,z3.));

array _y &list ;

do over _y;

  _y=ifn(sic2=compress(vname(_y),,'kd'), 1,0);

end;

run;

[Ksharp]

OK. Let me give you some sample data. Using SIC2 as ind###.

data have;
input obs sic2 fre;
cards;
1     1     114
2     2     28
3     7     27
4     8     10
;
run;
data want;
set have;
length dummy $ 10;
dummy=cats('ind',put(sic2,z3.));
run;

hi KSharp,

refer to your data, I am looking for output of ind#001, ind#002, ind#003 and ind#004 (according to observation no) and no ind#001, ind#002, ind#7 and ind#008 (according to sic2 code).

so back to my own data, i need ind#01 till ind#72.

can it be done?

[Ksharp]

OK. The following is what you need ?

data have;
input obs sic2 fre;
cards;
1     1     114
2     2     28
3     7     27
4     8     10
;
run;
data want;
set have;
length dummy_obs dummy_sic2 $ 10;
dummy_obs=cats('ind#',put(obs,z2.));
dummy_sic2=cats('ind#',put(sic2,z2.));
run;

Hi Ksharp,

as you can see from my file industry.sum, there are only 3 columns, sic2, _FREQ_. _N_.

In fact there is no column by the name of observation. How do i add/'input' those observations from 1 to 72 in file industry.sum to become one variable, so that the dummy_obs can be created?

Thanks a lot!!

[Ksharp]

OK. How about:

SUM dataset is under c:\

libname x v9 'c:\';
data want;
set x.sum;
length dummy_obs dummy_sic2 $ 10;
obs+1;
dummy_obs=cats('ind#',put(obs,z2.));
dummy_sic2=cats('ind#',put(sic2,z2.));
run;

Dear KSharp,

i cannot use the above program as the dummy_sic2 and dummy_obs need to be created in a big data file (spi.spi7) that has 64602 observations. These dummies need to be created by referring from the file industry.sum5.

I am now creating a new file industry.sum5 which contains variable sic2 and obs. as you can see, when sic2=7, obs=3 and dummy_sic2 of value ind#007 and dummy_obs of value ind#003 should be created in data file spi.spi7. That means dummy_obs should be referred to file industry.sum5 to see which sic code it belongs to first then only apply to each company's data in spi.spi7, it will came out ind#003. can it be done?

if not, then i will just leave it to follow sic2 code....

I will attach the file industry.sum5. and will try to attach spi.spi5 which looks too big....

Thanks

Mei

[Ksharp]

Do you mean bring obs variable from sum5 table into  spi5  table and make these dummy variables ?

"then only apply to each company's data in spi.spi7"

I do not understand what this means, do you want apply it to all the data in spi5 data ?

libname x v9 'c:\ ' ;
proc sql;
create table want as
 select a.*,cats('ind#',put(b.sic2,z2.)) as dummy_sic2,cats('ind#',put(obs,z2.)) as dummy_obs
  from x.spi5 as a left join x.sum5 as b
   on a.sic2=b.sic2 ;
quit;

[mei]

oh it is almost done. yes i want to create dummy-obs on file want with 1 and 0.

Pls see my prog codes:

proc sql;

create table want1 as

select a.*,cats('ind',put(b.sic2,z2.)) as dummy_sic2,cats('ind',put(obs,z2.)) as dummy_obs

  from industry.spi5 as a left join industry.sum5 as b

   on a.sic2=b.sic2 ;

quit;

data obs1;

do dummy_obs=01 to 72;

output;

end;

run;

proc sql noprint;

select distinct cats('ind',dummy_obs) into : list separated by ' ' from obs1;

quit;

data obs2;

set work.want1;

array _y &list ;

do over _y;

  _y=ifn(dummy_obs=compress(vname(_y),,'kd'), 1,0);

end;

run;

I know something is not right about assigning industry dummy of dummy_obs at 1-72 of the file obs1. How should i code properly so that i see ind#01-ind#72 or ind01 to ind72 at the final output want1?

I will attach file want1 and obs2

[Ksharp · Accepted solution]

OK. You almost reached it . It is what you are looking for ?

libname x v9 'c:\ ' ;
proc sql;
create table want1 as
select a.*,cats('ind',put(b.sic2,z2.)) as dummy_sic2,cats('ind',put(obs,z2.)) as dummy_obs
  from x.spi5 as a left join x.sum5 as b
   on a.sic2=b.sic2 ;
quit;

data obs1;
do dummy_obs=1 to 72;
output;
end;
run;


proc sql noprint;
select distinct cats('ind',put(dummy_obs,z2.)) into : list separated by ' ' from obs1;
quit;


data obs2;
set work.want1;
array _y &list ;
do over _y;
  _y=ifn(dummy_obs=vname(_y),1,0);
end;
run;
