- "Byval" - what's the context, what does it mean? I checked the
source in lib/src/describe.d and I suspect it's about factorized
descriptive statistics, but I cannot replicate it in gretl's summary
statistics.
Allin:
"Byval" means the particular value of the "factorizing" or
"by"
variable when producing factorized statistics.
Sven again:
Yes, but I couldn't see the string anywhere while trying to get at
it. Also, "byval" is not an actual English word, is it? Sounds more
like a programming identifier.
Allin again:
"Byval" appears as the first column heading when you save the
$result matrix following "summary <list> --by=<series>". No,
it's
not an English word but I think its meaning should be clear in
context.
