Hi there,
thanks very much Allen! I'll take the advice to heart. Fortunately in
the case where these garbage values are "created" a part of the analysis
(corresponding to these values) has not been conducted and that is
flagged (in another "non-garbage" variable), so I can post-process these
values. What are the "maximal" values gretl takes as import? +-1e100 and
+-1e-100?
If I were you, I'd use a conventional vaule for "missing" (say,
-99999.99999), which would be subsequently easy to convert to a "proper"
missing entry via the gretl "setmiss" command.
