Hello!

I want to generate three regressions, for each x_{%variables}, but the result of d1, d2, and d3 is modified and they generate the same result in the three new series. My commands are the following:

smpl 2018q1 @last
%SERIES = "serie1 serie2 serie3"
for %variables {%series}
for !i=1 to 3
genr d{!i}=(x_{%variables}-sdlogy)^2
next
next


My results are the same for d1, d2 and d3. For example:
results d1:
Modified: 2018Q1 2023Q1 // d1=(x_serie1-sdlogy)^2
Modified: 2018Q1 2023Q1 // d1=(x_serie2-sdlogy)^2
Modified: 2018Q1 2023Q1 // d1=(x_serie3-sdlogy)^2

And what I want is to have three series, like this:
d1=(x_serie1-sdlogy)^2
d2=(x_serie2-sdlogy)^2
d3=(x_serie3-sdlogy)^2

I would appreciate any comments. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

The result you're seeing is due to your use of nested loops. For each of the series named in the outer loop, i.e. "serie1", "serie2", and "serie3", you create three series in the inner loop, i.e. "d1", "d2", and "d3". Each of these series ends up being defined multiple times, as you see the modification comments, and thus holds the data corresponding to the last iteration of the outer loop when %variables = "serie3". I suspect what you actually want is a single loop structure similar to the following:
The above exploits the fact that the variable names are nicely paired, e.g. "d1" with "serie1", "d2" with "serie2", etc. More arbitrary pairings could be handled in the single loop of a slightly different form:

Hello, thanks so much for your help.The code works very well!
