I guess we should have to revisit the real_periodic_dummy() function in lib/src/dataset.c. One of the things I'd do (but wouldn't fix the problem you spotted) is to change the code block maybe_extend_dummies(dset, oldn); if (dataset_is_time_series(dset)) { maybe_extend_lags(dset, oldn, dset->n - 1); } at line 1121 by moving the call to "maybe_extend_dummies(dset, oldn)" inside the if block: I don't think this should be done for a cross-sectional dataset (maybe for panel datasets...). ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
