Sample specification

Postby SanSch » Wed Oct 01, 2008 4:03 am

Hi,

I've got a question concerning the setting of a workfile sample. If I want to add more than one specification, is there any possibility to organize the specifications into a hierarchy?

1st step: exclude all data which isn't in a 95% quantile
2nd step: an additional specification (binary variable=1)

with the command:
1993 2007 if @abs(dje)<@quantile(@abs(dje),0.95,"R","1993 2007") and tminus2=0
both specifications are made at the same time...

Thanks for your help!

I don't follow what you want to do...

What would be the benefit in having them in a "hierarchy"?

Thanks for your answer. I know, it's difficult to follow my explanations... But it seems as I've already found the solution respectively the mistake in my binary variable...
