Generating with matching value

 This is how to generate a variable with number matching:

#delimit;
egen poten_indo = anymatch(digit4n), values(
7201    7207    7113    8419    8003    8311    1804    1703    2902    6114    0906    3906    7305    4401    7208    6111    6406    5503    1605    0802    1212    8007    8538    7407    5205    0801 
);
#delimit cr

Cubic spline interpolation

We can interpolate missing data by using cubic spline in stata

first, install this package in stata:

ssc install csipolate

this is an example:

 Setup
        . webuse ipolxmpl1

    List the data
        . list, sep(0)

    Create y1 containing a natural cubic spline interpolation of y on
    x for missing values of y
        . csipolate y x, gen(y1)

    List the result
        . list, sep(0)

leading zero in string variable

A typical example might be to convert the following numbers 

> to a standard five-digit number with leading zeros:
> 2 -->  00002
> 33 --> 00033
> 473 --> 00473
> 59724 --> 59724

Display with leading zeros is a matter of format:
di %05.0f 2 

A more fundamental change is: 
gen str5 newvar = string(oldvar,"%05.0f") 

create label value from variable in stata

buat label value dari country, dari kode negara

we can use command labmask
. labmask kdnn, value(country)

. tabdis kdn, cellvar(kdnn country)

--------------------------------------------------
      kdn |               kdnn             country
----------+---------------------------------------
      001 |        FRANCE                    FRANCE
      003 |        NETHERLANDS       NETHERLANDS
      004 |        GERMANY                GERMANY
      006 |        UTD. KINGDOM       UTD. KINGDOM
      007 |        IRELAND                  IRELAND
      008 |        DENMARK              DENMARK

LaTeX: Change subsection numbering

If you want to change the subsection numbering, you have to renew the command first as follows:

\renewcommand\thesection{\roman{section}}
\renewcommand\thesubsection{\thesection.\roman{subsection}}

with similar commands like \thesubsubsection and so on 

of course, there's also \thechapter (in the book and report class) and \thepart.

Commands to typeset numbers include:

• \arabic (1, 2, 3, ...)
• \alph (a, b, c, ...)
• \Alph (A, B, C, ...)
• \roman (i, ii, iii, ...)
• \Roman (I, II, III, ...)
• \fnsymbol (∗, †, ‡, §, ¶, ...)
•  

If you want to change numbering in \enumerate, use this:

\usepackage{enumerate}
.
.
.
\begin{enumerate}[(a)] % (a), (b), (c), ...
\item
\end{enumerate}
.
.
.
\begin{enumerate}[a)] % a), b), c), ...
\item
\end{enumerate}

 

LaTeX: Alligning long equation and manually input equation number

If your equation is too long, you can insert the following comment in the equation environment, with the \\ to break line.

\begin{equation}
\begin{aligned}
 ..... \\
........
 \end{aligned}
\end{equation}

for example:

\begin{equation}\label{e10}
 \begin{aligned}
  \text{ln VA} = lnQ_3 + 1/ \sigma_y lnMP + lnA + \alpha lnK + (1-\alpha + \varepsilon)\\
   \times ln (N-a_0 N^{3/2}) + (1-\rho)/\rho((1+MS)^{-1} ln(N-a_0N^{3/2})).
 \end{aligned}  
\end{equation}


If you want to manually set equation number just put \tag{equation number} in the end of the equation:

\begin{equation}\label{e10a}
\begin{aligned}
 \text{ln VA} = lnQ_3 + 1/ \sigma_y lnMP + lnA + \alpha lnK + (1-\alpha + \varepsilon)\\
   \times ln (N-a_0 N^{3/2}) + (1-\rho)/\rho((1+MS)^{-1} ln(N-a_0N^{3/2})).
   \end{aligned}   \tag{10a}
\end{equation}

LaTeX: Reduce line spacing in enumerate environment

To change enumerate, you must install package enumitem

\usepackage{enumitem}

to change enumerate globally:

\setlist[enumerate]{itemsep=0mm}

 to change enumerate locally,

\begin{enumerate}[itemsep=3mm]

 for example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{enumitem}
\setlist[enumerate]{itemsep=-5mm}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]
\begin{enumerate}
    \item one
    \item two
\end{enumerate}

\lipsum[2]
\begin{enumerate}[itemsep=5mm]
    \item one
    \item two
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}
