Customizing Fixest Case Names: A Solution for Missing "obsRemoved" Member
To solve this problem, we need to create a custom method for the case.names function in the fixest package. The original code does not work because fixest objects do not have an obsRemoved member anymore. We can create a new function called case_names.fixest that takes an object of class fixest and returns a vector of negative integers representing the indices to exclude from the case names. Here is how we can do it:

Conditional Aggregation and Group By: A Proven Approach for Counting Identifiers in PL/SQL
Conditional Aggregation and Location Counting in PL/SQL In this article, we will explore how to count similar identifiers in a single column using PL/SQL. We’ll dive into the world of conditional aggregation and group by clauses to extract meaningful insights from your database data. Understanding the Problem Suppose you have a database with 1069 rows, each containing a unique identifier known as TRIAL_ID. The first three identifiers belong to one location (OAD), the next three to another (ROT), and the remaining ones have no discernible pattern.
