Calculating conditional mean

[Imhlanga]

Hi;
I want to calculate a conditional mean of a series, however i am new to Eviews proigraming. i have ordered observations from largest to smallest. what i want to do is to calculate the mean of all the observations that are smaller than a particular value x.

given a series y, i want to find the mean(y|y<x)

your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Alexy.

Code: Select all

smpl if y<x scalar mean = @mean(y)
