Hello, I have a few of the exact same for loops in a program. I was wondering if there is a way change them all at once. In other words, my for loop goes through a list of variables which I am adding to, rather than going to every line where that for loop appears is it possible to change it once in ...

Hi,

I'm trying to replicate a principal component indicator that was created in Stata using the "pca" command but even though I'm using the same source data I get a slightly different PCA series. Any idea why that might be?

Thanks.

This is only a a minor annoyance but when I re-run a program that contains a sample I created, the program stops saying that sample already exists. Is there a way around that other than commenting out the sample creation line?

Thanks

Thank you!

Hi, I'd like to analyse properties of the first month of each quarter in a data series. I'm thinking I should just create a new series with NA's for all other months but I'm wondering what is a faster way to create the sample than this smpl 2000:01 2000:01 2000:04 2000:04 etc etc Thanks!

ok, that one hurt.
thanks

Here's the code for %names a b c d e f !row = !row + 1 {%table}(!row,1) = "{%names}" {%table}(!row,2) = @mean({%names}{%somethingelse}) So I was hoping to get the first column to be rows that say "a" then next row says "b" etc. But they all just actually say {%names}. a...

Here's another table question.

I was hoping to have the first column in my table be the names in my for string. But if I put {%string} in brackets to tell the table to read it It just displays {%string}. Is there a workaround for this?

ah, ok. Thanks.

Im not familiar with the replace function but I found the following code which worked well. Thanks

Can I use this sample sample trick to replace outliers in a series with NAs? Say I want to remove the highest and lowest 5% of observations in a series can i put somehting in this blank space that would do that?

Thanks Gareth!

Thanks but I'm not getting that to work. I get this message: NA found in matrix in "SCALAR TEST= @SUM(x>0)". The sereies has some Nas, but even when I fill them in I get this error message: Scalar sent to function which operates on a matrix in "SCALAR TEST=@SUM(x>0)". Any ideas? ...

I want to know how many positive numbers are in a series. in Excel its a simple countif > o type formula. What would be the eviews equivalent?

Thanks!

Gareth, you, Sir, are the man.
