SMPL IF X > Y

[LTURNER]

Hi,

I am using Eviews 10, and I am trying to determine my sample as follows:

Code: Select all

SMPL IF X > Y

where X and Y are two time series of the same periodicity and length.

Is this possible? I have not had any success in implementing it. I get the error:

Code: Select all

Error in Sample: X is not defined in "SMPL IF X > Y".

There isn't any indication this is possible on the help pages, and I checked the forum and couldn't find any info:

Thanks for your support.

Yes it is possible. Sounds like you do not have a series called “X”

Hi Gareth,

Wishing you a very merry Christmas,
