Thanks for the report. I'll work on the problem, but in the meantime note
that you can work around it by simplifying your "outlier" function. You
have:
<hansl>
function series outlier (series Y)
smpl Y > quantile(Y,0.01) && Y < quantile(Y,0.99) --restrict --replace
series Ytmp = Y
smpl full
Y = Ytmp
return Y
end function
</hansl>
and the segfault is coming from incorrect handling of the panel
sub-sampling and restoration inside the function, which needs to be fixed.
But you don't need to mess with the sample; this should have the same
effect:
<hansl>
function series outlier (series Y)
scalar q01 = quantile(Y,0.01)
scalar q99 = quantile(Y,0.99)
return Y > q01 && Y < q99 ? Y : NA
end function
</hansl>
