Karl,<div><br></div><div> I have a question going back to our discussion about setting a present and an absent row for each of these males I am working with. Specifically about setting their 'absent' day to the last census day that they were absent, not just the day before they arrived. So the question I have is, in the situations where we JUST start watching a group, what is the best thing to do about the absent row. For example, if their first day in Alto's is 1971-08-01 and that is also the first day we started watching altos, so there is no census before hand, then what should I do. If I don't insert an absent row, their presence in group 1 will interpolate back for a little while right? </div>
