Hi folks. What is the GRETL translation of the command "REPLACE
... IF"
in STATA?
Specifically, in STATA I would use REPLACE W=. IF L==0 to
change my data in STATA (making the variable W missing if the variable L
is zero).
Messing around in GRETL I have come up with the following 3 lines:
smpl L=0 --restrict
genr W=NA
smpl --full
Is there a simpler/briefer way to do this is GRETL? Maybe using IF?
Thanks for any suggestions -- jim irwin (economic historian, moving from
STATA to GRETL).
May be the following command works as you want:
series W=W*misszero(L)/L
