Compute BMI with SPSS & STATA

 If you mean that the height is 168 cm which would be plausible 
for 68kg 
This is the formula
compute bmi = weight / ((height/100)**2) .


sedangkan untuk Stata, rumusnya adalah

 gen BMI =  weight/(( heigth/100)^2)

udah, gitu aja

Sum up and create new variable with STATA

Following are examples of how to create new variables in Stata using the gen (short for generate) and egen commands: To create a new variable (e.g., newvar ) and set its value to 0 , use: gen newvar = 0 To create a new variable (e.g., total ) from the transformation of existing variables (e.g., the sum of v1 , v2 , v3 , and v4 ), use: gen total = v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 Alternatively, use egen with the built-in rowtotal option: egen total = rowtotal(v1 v2 v3 v4) Note: The egen command treats missing values as 0 . To create a variable (e.g., avg ) that stores the average of four variables (e.g., v1 , v2 , v3 , and v4 ), use: gen avg = (v1 + v2 + v3 + v4) / 4 Note: Use the / (slash) to denote division and an * (asterisk) for multiplication. Alternatively, use egen with the built-in rowmean option: egen avg = rowmean(v1 v2 v3 v4) Stata also lets you take advantage of built-in functions for variable transformations. For example, to take the natura...

How to Cronchbach Alpha with STATA

For my personal record only. This is how to perform croncbach alpha with stata Cronbach's alpha examines reliability by determining the internal consistency of a test or the average correlation of items (variables) within the test. In   Stata, the alpha   command conducts the reliability test. For example, suppose you wish to test the internal reliability of ten variables, q1   through q10 . You could run the following: alpha q1-q10, item In the above example, the   item   option displays the effects of removing an item from the scale.

Reporting Odds RAtio

  When Odds ratio is above 2 , then it is simply put as XX times higher likelihood (XX=odds ratio). If odds ratio is 2.5, then there is a 2.5 times higher likelihood of having the outcome compared to the comparison group. From the above example, one might say “The odds of having a postoperative infection is 3.5 times higher if the patient experienced a complication during the surgery as opposed to not experiencing the complication”. Here the odds ratio would be 3.5. When the odds ratio is lower than 1 , the likelihood of having the outcome is XX% lower (XX% = 1-Odds ratio). For e.g. if odds ratio is 0.70, then there is a 30% lower likelihood of having the outcome. In the above example related to surgical infection, you might say “The odds of having a postoperative infection is 20% lower if the patient was given prophylactic antibiotics during the surgery as opposed to not getting the antibiotic”. Here the odds ratio would be 0.80. The odds ratio also shows the strengt...
