** Compute Term-by-term Percentages of Cases with Concurrences ** Written By: Patrick C. Wohlfarth and Andrew D. Martin ** Date: 4/14/2011 ** ** Note: the basic approach here could be used to compute the ** fraction of cases in each term that has any number of ** judge-specific attributes. This currently works with the ** citation as the unit of analysis; it could be re-run on ** any unit of anaysis. ** load data and create variable for any concurrence use SCDB_2011_01_justiceCentered_Citation.dta gen concurrences = 0 replace concurrences = 1 if vote == 3 replace concurrences = 1 if vote == 4 ** compute the number of concurrences for each caseId collapse (sum) concurrences, by(caseId term) gen concurDummy = 0 replace concurDummy = 1 if concurrences > 0 drop concurrences ** collapse down to the term sort term by term: gen cases = _n collapse (sum) concurDummy (count) cases, by(term) rename concurDummy concurCount gen concurPercent = (concurCount/cases) * 100 ** save resulting data file save "concurrences.dta", replace
