How can I quickly create weekly dummy variables?

Postby elmst616 » Tue Mar 28, 2017 10:06 am

Hi,

I have weekly data and I'm interesting in introducing weekly dummies to examine for seasonality. I tried using @expand(@week, @dropfirst) but I get an error message. Is there some other way to do this?
