  • possibility of being born

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dataset where for each year there is an indicator named birth that shows whether a mother (casefe) has given birth or not in that year. In the variables described below 'year' variable is the year of birth of the child. In other words a mother denoted by casefe -21 gave birth in the year 2013 and 2015, my data has years from 2011-2015; hence the birth indicator should take the value 0 for the years 2011, 12 and 14. My research question is to check if the treatment has an impact on the possibility of being born. So any other suggestion to achieve this goal is also appreciated.

    Code:
     dataex caseid yrb casefe  age_m  year

    Looks like you only have data on women who have given birth at least once. If that is true, then I would look for another source of data. To quote Tukey (1986): "The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data."

    John Tukey (1986), "Sunset salvo". The American Statistician 40(1):72-76.

    As an aside: you are looking for the probability of giving birth not for the probability of being born.

      ...and, if I may, possibility differs from probability
