Subject: Recoding Binary variables in STATA
Would like to know a quick way of changing many dichotomous variables
coded as:
1=Yes
2=No
9=Missing
into
1=Yes
0=No
.=Missing
I found the way to replace '9' with '.' for a list of variables
(mvdecode), however, I haven't found how recode the other values to 0
and 1, other than doing a 'replace' statment for each variable.
Is there anyway of recoding multiple variables at once?
