I'm having issues using @colpctiles to get percentile values for each column of a matrix.
The online help says @colpctiles(m[, o]) will return a matrix with percentile values of each column in a matrix.
The "o" should control ascending ("a") or descending ("d").
The matrix for which I'm trying to percentile rank the columns is called "matrix_raw" (attached).
I'm trying to output a "matrix_hilo" (ranking high to low) and another called "matrix_lohi" (ranking the other way).
However, EViews only will rank one way, regardless of which direction option I choose.
Am I doing something wrong?
matrix matrix_hilo = @colpctiles(matrix_raw,"d") 'Sort the data descending
matrix matrix_lohi = @colpctiles(matrix_raw,"a") 'Sort the data ascending
I'm using EViews 13
Many thanks!
KC

Re: @colpctiles Not Working...
Hello,
You're correct, the rank 'direction' argument is being incorrectly ignored. We'll fix that in an upcoming patch.
