Hi all

I hope this is something simple.

I'm reading in this data set, the one I mentioned before. ShortDataSet.csvhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/11WIET3s4eMHsB6JQ6hOQBx0SKquGRKKw/view?usp=sharing

I can get a frequency for AreaRegion, using both the drop down menu system and by typing in "freq AreaRegion" (without the quotes) and I can get a means in both the drop down menu system and by typing in "means population

I can't seem to get means by population, in the line at the bottom of the analysis system where we can type in commands.

I went to the list of commands http://www.epidata.dk/commands.htm

where it says this:

means variable1 [/by=variable2] [/T] [/q] basic descriptive statistics for numeric variable1, optionally stratified by variable2 Options: /by=variable2 : Stratify by this variable

I typed in " means population /by=AreaRegion" (without the quotes) and got this

.means population /by AreaRegion; ERROR: Line 1: Syntax error at pos 18: / Expected: "-", "!", "(", ")", ":=", ";", "@", "[", "else", "Identifier", "in", "to"

I also tried a couple of variations, like "means population [/by=AreaRegion]" and means population (/by=AreaRegion) and got similar error lines.

Any help with this?

By the way, on the commands.htm web page above, in the first column, it looks like you can click on the command and it's supposed to go to another web page, for example, meanshttp://www.epidata.dk/means.htm is supposed to lead to http://www.epidata.dk/means.htm but that results in not found.

And again, I greatly appreciate all the work that folks put into EpiData and all the accompanying web pages, help pages, documentation, etc. It's a lot of work and your work is appreciated.

Thanks

Gene
