State Labels


Each state in a multi-state design must have a single character that identifies it in the encounter histories.  This single-character code can consist of numerical digits, i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for a data set with 5 state, or alphabetic characters, i.e., X, Y, and Z to identify 3 state.  To more clearly identify the state, the state names can be provided.
