Hi everybody,
i have two question:
1/ i have group named g1 with 14 series, (GDP, INF, @month=1, @month=2,....,@month=12) with my equation estmation ls stock c GDP INF @expand(@month), i want to rename the 12 last series (@month=1 will be dum1 and @month=2 will be dum2.....etc ) by this code i get error message "DUM is not defined in "GROUP G DUM" i know that my code is incomplete.

Code: Select all

group g dum
for !i=1 to 12
%oldname = g.@seriesname(!i)
%newname = dum!i
rename {%oldname} {%newname}
next

2/ suppose i estimate this model: ls stock c GDP INF @expand(@month), is there an other way to rename the 12 varaibles (@month=1,... @month=12) in equation object by (dum1,..... dum12).

You can only rename objects that exist inside your workfile. @expand doesn't create series objects, it is just a function that you can use inline.

To actually create dummy variables for the months that exist in your workfile, you'd have to do something like:

Code: Select all


group g
for !i=1 to 12
series dum{!i} = @month=!i
g.add dum{!i}
