Hi,
Two questions related to the "print" command.
1) Is the "range" option supposed to work jointly with the "by-obs"
option?
When by-obs is omitted the full range of series is printed out despite the
specification for range. For example:
? dataset sortby absr1std
? print absr1std --byobs --range=46:50
absr1std
ME 1.426741
MT 1.460884
VT 1.742409
DC 2.616447
FL 2.902663
? print absr1std --range=46:50
Full data range: 1 - 51 (n = 51)
0.0805403 0.0908925 0.0932311 0.0987927 0.127675 0.143004 0.164553
0.193521 0.203738 0.257765 0.280333 0.304542 0.307398 0.352839
... # I'm cutting here!!
? dataset sortby state
2) I'd like to print out the 5 greatest values of a series. As you may see
above, I first sort the whole dataset, then use print with range option and
finally sort again the dataset to revert to the initial position. Ok, these
operations come with no effort at all but, and this is just a suggestion,
would it be more intuitive if a sortby option be included in the print
command? Or a "dummy" option?
Best,
Artur
