Dear WeeG, many thanks, I did have a read through that earlier today but i didn't quite follow. I am new to stata so i dont understand what goes on.
I have a sample of people with and without the disease (0,1). I need to see how this incidence changes over time and also have it weighted against the country's population. I also require to have this then as a graphical representation.
