Could we have a member for estimated equations that gives a dummy variable for included observations?

It would be a proc, rather than a data member.
But then, it would be pretty similar to the makeresid proc.

Code: Select all
eq1.makeresid myresid
series isineq = @isna(myresid)=0

Yeah, I usually remember this...eventually. It would still be cool to have it as a member of the equation though.

Series cannot be data members

Maybe that could be changed???

No, because you can move objects between pages and workfiles, their data members cannot be workfile structure dependent, which rules out series.

vector? or is that too risky?

Could do, but a) it isn't as useful as a series, and going from the vector to the series is about as easy as just using the residual series, and b) as soon as you move the equation, the vector is meaningless.

Hmmm. Could you include a series member that got wiped when moved between pages? Or would that be too hard with the underlying plumbing?
