Hi,
in real-life teaching I encountered the situation that we wanted to create
the time averages in the context of a panel dataset. I told students to write
a command using the pmean() function, but among the stuff we did that was the
only thing which couldn't be achieved through the menus. So I'm wondering
whether it might be an idea to add those kind of functions to the GUI.
Of course the "Add" menu is quite long already, perhaps it would make sense
to insert a submenu named "panel transformations" or so, and then holding
time averages and perhaps also time maxima etc. ?
I like the idea of revamping the "Add" menu by introducing submenus. For
example, lags, diffs etc could go under "Time series transformations",
etc.
