Re: How to make peer groups based on mutually same analyst code

Lipty · Posted 09-11-2019 04:54 PM

Thank you very much for taking time to read this post. I have the following data set:

FirmID	year	AnalystCode
PAMP	2001	1047
AMZN	2001	1047
NFLX	2001	1047
RIM	2001	1047
NZKA	2001	1047
AMZN	2001	1048
NFLX	2001	1048
RIM	2001	1048
PAMP	2001	1648
AMZN	2001	1648
NFLX	2001	1648
RIM	2001	1648
NZKA	2001	1648
GTW	2001	967
BBRY	2001	967
NOK	2001	967
AEOK	2001	967
BBRY	2001	816
NOK	2001	816
AEOK	2001	816
NOK	2001	1322
AEOK	2001	1322
GTW	2002	967
BBRY	2002	967
NOK	2002	967
AEOK	2002	967
BBRY	2002	816
NOK	2002	816
AEOK	2002	816
NOK	2002	1322
AEOK	2002	1322

Every year, once the firms have at least 3 same AnalystCode, they will be classified as one group. So my desired table should be like the following one:

FirmID	year	Group
AMZN	2001	1
NFLX	2001	1
RIM	2001	1
NOK	2001	2
AEOK	2001	2
NOK	2002	1
AEOK	2002	1

Can anyone help? Thank you very much. : )

please try

proc sort data=have;
by firmid year;
run;

proc sql;
create table want as select count(year) as cnt,firmid,year from have group by firmid,year having cnt=3;
create table want2 as select count(distinct year) as cnt,firmid from have group by firmid ;
quit;

data all;
merge want(in=a drop=cnt) want2(in=b);
by firmid ;
if a and b;
run;

Thanks,

Can a firm belong to many groups for a given year?

If firm A shares 3 analysts with firm B and 3 other analysts with firm C, but firm B and C have no analysts in common, how are they grouped?

Thank you very much for your time, @PGStats, @Ksharp, @PeterClemmensen , @Jagadishkatam .

@PGStats I checked my original data which includes more than 200,000 observations. The case mentioned by @PGStats does exist. If firm A shares 3 analysts with firm B and 3 other analysts with firm C, but firm B and C have no analysts in common, B and C cannot be made in one group. Only when they have common and mutually same analyst code, and from the same industry, they can be grouped together.

@PGStats, @Ksharp, @PeterClemmensen , @Jagadishkatam Sorry for missing one more piece of information. There is one more variable of "industry". Once the firms have at least 3 same AnalystCode and are from the same industry, they will fall in one group. This can eliminate most of the cases mentioned by @PGStats .

Could you please help me with the additional piece of information. Thanks again for your help.

@Lipty can you update the sample data and the desired result and take this into account?

Hi all,

Sorry for missing one piece of information. I add one more variable "IndustryCode" to the sample data. @PeterClemmensen @Ksharp @PGStats @Jagadishkatam

Once the firms have at least 3 same AnalystCode and are from the same industry (IndustryCode), they will fall in one group. I desired table is as follows:

Consider the A-B-C case described before with links A-B and A-C but no B-C link. My previous code would put all three firms A-B-C in the same group. But if firms without a link cannot belong to the same group then there must be two groups, A-B and A-C. This new code does that. In graph theory terms, the previous code found connected components, the new one finds cliques.
