Caroline,
If your original series is x, then
series y = x*zeromiss(x>0)
will give you a series with the positive x values and missing values corresponding to the
negative x's. For the NLS estimation, you can do Sample\Restrict, based on
criterion... and use "ok(y)" as the criterion.
HTH,
PS

Subject: [Gretl-users] Creating new series
Hi!
I haven't found any answer to this problem online, and so am hoping that someone can
help me here.
I need to:
a) create a new series that comprises only the positive observation of a series
b) only use the observations for which the new series are not equal to 0 in a NLS
How would I go about that?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Caroline Landry
