Abstract: timealloc converts an episode-level diary dataset into a diary-level dataset with one row per diary. For each category of the first variable in varlist, the command creates variables showing how much time the diarist spent in that category during the day. If only one diary field is supplied, timealloc also creates variables counting how many episodes fall into each category. This command is especially useful when researchers want a diary-level file summarising time spent in categories such as activities, locations, or co-presence states. Keywords: time use, sequences, episodes, diary

Language: Stata
Requires: Stata version 11
Date: 2024-07-03, Revised 2026-04-23
Note: This module should be installed from within Stata by typing "ssc install timealloc". This module was previously circulated as timeuse. The module is made available under terms of the GPL v3 (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt). Windows users should not attempt to download these files with a web browser.
