[Gretl-users] creating a discrete variable?

Hi again, I've got a discrete nomial variable TEST = 0 or 1 or 2 If I estimate a multinomial model the base is 0. Now I want to change the reference. What is the best way to do it? How can I create a new discrete variable that follows the following specification: If test=1 then NEW=0 If test=2 then NEW=1 If test=3 then NEW=2 Just switching the directions works with the Gretl command genr NEW=2-TEST Thanks Pindar -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: gretl-users-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu [mailto:gretl-users-bounces@lists.wfu.edu] Im Auftrag von Allin Cottrell Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.
