Transforming data (keep values only larger than 2.6)

Postby ppoulimen » Fri Feb 02, 2018 5:38 am

Hi all, I am newbie in e-views
I have an excel with three (numeric values) columns.

I import successfully the data creating three objects (A,B,C) and I want to modify the data in the
C object keeping rows with values larger than 2.6.

Could you please help me how can I do it ?
(Either with command or graphically)

I suppose that all the objects should be modified as group.

Thanks a lot for your assistance

You'll have to be more precise. What do you want to do with observations where C is not > 2.6?

I have made a linear regression first (ls A con B C)
and I would like to make the transformation to C data in order to make a second regression ((ls new_A con new_B new_C)) and compare the results.

I have attached the initial data in excel file (data.xls) and the data I want after the transformation.

It still is really unclear as to what you want to do.

But I'm going to guess you just want to set the sample so that c>2.6

Yes , I want to keep only the values larger than 2.6 in the third variable object (column C)
