regression coefficient

[trainee]

Hi guys,

Rookie question - how do you set a regression coefficient to 1 in E-views?

Y = c(1)+ X

Would writing an equation in the above fashion ensure coefficient on X is implicitly set to 1?

Any other ideas?

Thanks. Appreciate it a lot.

Good question. What happened when you tried it?

That should work. An equivalent is to use the by-list formulation

Code: Select all

y-x c

but in this case, your descriptives will be on the composite variable, not on Y (which may not be what you want).
