@date dummies and inequality sign auto-switching
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:45 am
Hey Guys, how are you?
I am trying to split a variable into two when I discovered that there seems to be a problem between UpdateGroup function and the database. Here's what I have done:
It doesn't matter if I put this in a group (by creating one) or using show (which results in the same thing anyway), Eviews automatically switches the inequality sign (">=") in the second variable into a "<" (and sometimes the other way around, making the first "<" into a ">="). This only happens when I multiply each of these dummies with the same variable from the database. Any ideas why that's so? Would you please let me know? Thanks.
