I´m trying to make this kind of chart of Covid cases and moving averages using Stata. I tried using graph bar
but it plots densities. I want to make a plot against time with this kind of vertical lines. This is the plot I´m trying to make:
Data for any country:
https://ourworldindata.org/covid-cases?country=IND~USA~GBR~CAN~DEU~FRA
To create this kind of plot you can easily use the twoway
command. This command allows you to combine an arbitrary number of different graphs. You are looking to combine a bar graph with a line graph. For example, the new cases plot for Great Britain can be created as follows:
import owid-covid-data.csv
keep if iso_code=="GBR"
keep date new_cases
gen date2 = date(date, "YMD")
format date2 %td
tsset date2 // Set data to time series format
tssmooth ma ma7=new_cases, window(6 1 0) // create the 7 day moving-average
twoway (bar new_cases date2) (line ma7 date2)
