I think what I need to do is create/compute a new variable, but I'm not sure.
I'm looking at incidence of cavities in teeth. The way I collected the data is by individual tooth were 0 = no cavities, 1 = one cavity, 2 = one or more cavity in the tooth. But now I want to look at the incidence of cavities in the upper vs the lower jaw. Combine the data from all of the upper teeth to get a simple frequency/percent of cavities in the upper jaw.
It seems like it should be easy, but I'm having problems figuring it out.
Any suggestions would be great! Thanks.
