Re: [Gretl-users] Defining Panel Data

Excuse my ignorance, but if you're talking about the drop-down

I did try those. The issue I'm having with those is I'd like to be able
to script all of this in an attempt to create an automated "report
creator", if you will, using LaTeX. This data is going to be updated
fairly frequently, and I don't really want to have to run 100+ graphs by
hand (using the drop down features) every time the data changes; having
a boiler plate script that could be run would be ideal. Thanks for your
time on this, Allin. I really do appreciate it.
Is this close to what you need?
<hansl>
# example fake data
nulldata 2856
series year = 1990 + (time-1)%51
series county = 1 + floor((time-1)/51)
# set up panel structure
setobs county year --panel-vars
# generate artificial AR(2) series, just for fun
series x = 0
series x = 1.4 * x(-1) - 0.5*x(-2) + normal()
loop foreach i 23 34 45 --quiet
smpl county=$i --restrict --replace
string fname="cnty_$i.pdf"
gnuplot x year --with-lines --output=@fname --suppress-fitted
end loop
smpl full
