I am not sure the following is as intended:

series fnaive = y(-1) </hansl> The series "fnaive" appears as a separate series but as a "child" of y (as would all leads/ lags of y automatically named y* or y_*) rather than a separate entry at the highest level in the main window. I thought that only leads/lags of "y" would be shown as "child" series.

So I think it's intended. What would be interesting is if > you re-assign fnaive (say, make it constant or random), does that status > change? Thanks, Sven. If fnaive is re-assigned, its status does not change.
