select minimum value by ID, over range of visits - stata

I'm trying to extract a variable for the lowest value over a range of visits, in this case:
I want the lowest value over first 3 days of admission (admission day 1 or 2 or 3) , by VisitID. any suggestions?
visitID value day of admission
1 941 1
1 948 2
1 935 4
2 83 1
2 84 2
2 50 4
2 79 5
and I would want:
visitID value visit minvalue
1 941 1 941
1 948 2 941
1 935 4 941
2 83 1 83
2 84 2 83
2 50 4 83
2 79 5 83

It would have been helpful if you had presented your data in an easily usable form. But here's an approach that should point you in a useful direction.

1 948 2
1 935 4
2 83 1
2 84 2
2 50 4
2 79 5
end
bysort visitid (day) : egen minvalue = min(cond(day<=3,value,.))
Which results in
. list, sepby(visitid)
+----------------------------------+
| visitid value day minvalue |

1. | 1 941 1 941 |
2. | 1 948 2 941 |

How to add a row where there is a disruption in series of numbers in Stata

I'm attempting to format a table of 40 different age-race-sex strata to be inputted into R-INLA and noticed that it's important to include all strata (even if they are not present in a county). These should be zeros. However, at this point my table only contains records for strata that are not empty. I can identify places where strata are missing for each county by looking at my strata variable and finding the breaks in the series 1 through 40 (marked with a red x in the image below).
In these places (marked by the red x) I need to add the missing rows and fill in the corresponding county code, strata code, population=0, and the correct corresponding race, sex, age code for the strata.
If I can figure out a way to add an empty row in the spaces with the red Xs from the image, and correctly assign the strata code (and county code) to these empty/missing rows, I am able to populate the rest of the values with the code below:
recode race = 1 & sex= 1 & age =4 if strata = 4
...etc
I'm wondering if there is a way to add the missing rows using an if statement that considers the fact that there are supposed to be forty strata for each county code. It would be ideal if this could populate the correct county code and strata code as well!

My answer to your previous question
Nested for-loop: error variable already defined
detailed how to create a minimal dataset with all strata present. Therefore you should just merge that with your main dataset and replace missings on the absent strata with whatever your other software expects, zeros it seems.
The complication most obvious at this point is you need to factor in a county variable. I can't see any information on how many counties you have in your dataset, which may affect what is practical. You should be able to break down the preparation into: first, prepare a minimal county dataset with identifiers only; then merge that with a complete strata dataset.

Stata: Changing Number Format

I am using estpost and esttab to export tabulation results in Stata.
sysuse auto, clear
estpost tabulate turn foreign
esttab ., cells("b(fmt(0))") unstack
---------------------------------------------------
(1)
Domestic Foreign Total
b b b

31 1 0 1
32 0 1 1

46 3 0 3
48 2 0 2
51 1 0 1
Total 52 22 74
---------------------------------------------------
N 74
---------------------------------------------------
Although I can change the format of the cells, I couldn't find a way to change the format of the observation number(N) and the total number of observations in each column. I tried adding obs(fmt(%10.2fc)) as an estab option but it didn't work.

Conditionally create new observations

I have data in the following format (there are a lot more variables):
year ID Dummy
1495 65 1
1496 65 1
1501 65 1
1502 65 1
1520 65 0
1522 65 0
What I am trying to achieve is conditionally create new observations that fills in the data between two points in time conditional on a dummy. If the dummy is equal to 1, the data is supposed to be filled in. If the variable is equal to 0 then it shall not be filled in.
For example:
year ID Dummy
1495 65 1
1496 65 1
1497 65 1
1498 65 1
.
.
1501 65 1
1502 65 1
1503 65 1
1504 65 1
.
.
.
1520 65 0
1522 65 0
Here's one way to do this:
clear
input year id dummy
1495 65 1
1496 65 1
1501 65 1
1502 65 1
1520 65 0
1522 65 0
end
generate tag = year[_n] != year[_n+1] & dummy == 1
generate delta = year[_n] - year[_n+1] if tag
replace delta = . if abs(delta) == 1
expand abs(delta) if tag & delta != .
sort year
bysort year: egen seq = seq() if delta != .
replace seq = seq - 1
replace seq = 0 if seq == .
replace year = year + seq if year != .
drop tag delta seq
The above code snippet will produce:
list
+-------------------+
| year id dummy |

Consecutive tagging in Stata

The task is to identify which consecutive week a product (in a specific store) has been on promotion.
clear
input ///
upc week store promo
1 1 86 1
1 2 86 1
1 3 86 1
1 4 86 1
3 1 86 0
3 2 86 1
4 1 86 0
4 2 86 1
4 3 86 1
end
The end result should look something like this:
upc week store promo promocount
1 1 86 1 1
1 2 86 1 2
1 3 86 1 3
1 4 86 1 4
3 1 86 0 0
3 2 86 1 1
4 1 86 0 0
4 2 86 1 1
4 3 86 1 2
end
I have 800K obs., and I am encountering a problem with the real data set. When I run bysort upc week store promo: gen prcount = _n if promo==1, my data set is sorted in a different way (which, as a result, yields wrong tagging):
upc week store promo
1 1 86 1
3 1 86 0
4 1 86 0
1 2 86 1
3 2 86 1
4 2 86 1
1 3 86 1
4 3 86 1
1 4 86 1
Anyway, I now realize my code is wrong. Any suggestions?
I think
. quietly input ///
> upc week store promo
. generate promocount = 0
. bysort store upc (week): replace promocount = 1+cond(_n==1,0,promocount[_n-1]) if promo>0
(7 real changes made)
. list, clean noobs
upc week store promo promoc~t
1 1 86 1 1
1 2 86 1 2
1 3 86 1 3
1 4 86 1 4
3 1 86 0 0
3 2 86 1 1
4 1 86 0 0
4 2 86 1 1
4 3 86 1 2
does do what you want.
