Usually, the columns are activities like
… Eating Working
Person1
Person2
But I want to have something like
…00:00~00:10 00:00~00:20
Person1 … Eating … Working
Person2 …Sleeping …Eating
From ATUS-X, AHTUS-X, or MTUS-X, can I download dataset in such formats?
Unfortunately, the IPUMS online data extract system is not able to extract data in the format you have indicated. The only options for changing the format of the data are Rectagular (i.e. includes household-level data appended on each person-level record) or Hierarchical (i.e. includes household, person, and activity-level data as separate records). You’ll need to manipulate the data into the format you are describing above using your preferred statistical software.
