ah beautiful! Yes indeed, I had missed that 2nd part of copying all ranks to the rest if cellid>1.! Great, thanks a lot, this makes the whole calculation even cleaner.!

Quick practical solution (although not perfect!) = just leaving it the way I had said and in the sample sort for the lowest 6666 observations, i.e. lowest 1/3, then for the middle 6666 and so on. However if you know how to rearrange it into normal rankings from 1-152, I'd appreciate it if you tell m...

The problem I am getting is that the ranking shows very many NA values if I do it the way you mentioned earlier. To be exact, of the 132 observations only 1 shows a value, namely the cellid = 1. So then if i select the large companies, the rest of the observations just fall away. What I've tried to ...

Hey Glenn, sorry for the long break, I had my an exam, for which I took a study break, now that I passed that I'm back and I'll be actively posting again until I finish this damned project. To get back to the issue: If i take the average of the low/med/high firms without adjusting the sample (to if ...

Sorry, it's true that the residual distribution needs to be checked instead of the distribution of the data. -Starz, could you tell me which buttons to press/commands to give in order to execute a spearman rank test? I want to be able to reflect on the difference between the outcome of a OLS and a s...

Hi i just found out that my data is not normally distributed (J-B = 0.000), so I have to execute non-parametric regressions. I would like to know how to set eviews up in order to do this, i.e. which settings to take in order to do this properly for my test. I wanted to see my dependent variable depe...

I'm sorry Ranversk, I'm not able to help you, I just started with eviews, but if you don't mind telling me how to set eviews up in order to do non-parametric tests (it seems like you had some experience in that) that would be great. I'm want to run a spearman's correlation and the question was which...

I'm not an expert myself, but have done something similar. You will first need to assess whether your data is distributed normally, you can find this out through the jarque-bera test. If it is 0.01 or lower you'll need to execute non-parametric test, if not you can execute parametric tests like the ...

Alright, basically I got everything to work, resulting in the end in three series which I created, lowincfirms, medincfirms and highincfirms. When I then open these series I get the long list of firms, with either a 0 or a 1 in front of the first firm listing, according to its categorization. So far...

Okay, figured this one out myself, yes finally haha, anyways I should have left out "series" in series averageinc.! -I Bet that's valuable information right there.

Using version 7.1 should that matter..

Thanks a lot Glenn! Unfortunately already in the first step i'm running into problems with "syntax errors" I almost literally copied your formula, and after that I tried what seemed to me to be similar: series meanlstat = @meansby(lstat, @crossid, "@all") as taken from the eviews...

I want to use these designations in order to command eviews to select all of the "profitable firms" and test whether their returns are more influenced by a certain factor than unprofitable firms' return. So ideally I could tell eviews to select firm A,E&F (categorized as profitable) ru...

A third issue: sorting panel data based on a specific point in time. I'm trying to sort the firms according to the income on 01/01/2000. In the sample selection window is there a possibility to do this? For instance something like: income >100 @2000m01 - obviously this doesn't work, maybe somebody k...

Hello, I'm trying to find a way in which I can sort my panel data into groups according to criteria "having an average value >1" for instance: I have panel data on 150 firms over a period of 10 years. I would like to sort them into three groups based on average profitability over these ten...
