Indicator Saturation and Variable Selection with PC-Gets

Hi

Is it possible to use both indicator saturation and PC-Gets to do variable selection for an equation in EViews 12? I seem to be only able to do each of them separately.

Thanks
Tim

Currently, no.

Hi Gareth

Thanks. If I generate the dummies manually and then put them into the list of variables that can be searched over by the PC-Gets algorithm would that be equivalent?

Yep. If doing multiple indicator types (or if you have dummies already), you have to worry about singularities.
