How to specify the date for outlier removal

[Nau2306]

Hi

I am using eviews6 and I have got data from 01/01/2000 to 31/10/2011. What I am trying to do is import all the data but remove outliers only for data from 01/01/2000 to 01/04/2008 for estimation so that the remaining sample will be used for forecasts comparison. How can i specify the date for outlier removal?

So far I have been using the following code

pagecontract if returns>@quantile(returns, 0.025) and returns<@quantile(returns, 0.975)

Thanks

Try

Code: Select all

series badObs = 0 smpl 01/01/2000 01/04/2008 badObs = returns<=@quantile(returns, 0.025) or returns>=@quantile(returns, 0.975) smpl @all pagecontract if not badobs
