recoding/modifying a variable

Postby vasco1966 » Tue Feb 14, 2023 4:09 am

Hi:

I would like to reduce the number of ordered categories in my dependent variable. How do I do that with Eviews13?

My dependent variable has 11 categories (0-10). I would like to combine categories 0-3, 4-6, and 7-10

Code: Select all

series new = @recode(@inlist(old, "0 1 2 3"),1,NA)
new = @recode(@inlist(old, "4 5 6"),2, new)
new = @recode(@inlist(old, "7 8 9 10"),3, new)


Haven't tried, but I think it will work.
