Hi all (especially Karl and Daphne),
I sent an email to the listserv a few months ago asking for an
explanation about how the reinterp program works. Karl's response
helped clarify things for me at the time, but now I've come onto a new
type of census/members problem and so I have a follow-up question.
I found a couple cases where an entire day was left out of a group's
census. I can create a "mini-census" table just for one date with all
the group members to put the presence/absence data in the census table.
But in terms of getting the information into the members table (and
having the interpolation recalculated), running reinterp would require
me individually typing in each group member's sname. Instead, would it
work to simply do valcen and upcen as if the "mini-census" table were a
new census (despite the fact that later census dates are already in the
database)?
Thanks for your help,
Catherine
