Re: [Gretl-users] Dataset handling in gretl (IDs, labels, standardization)
Dear gretl community,
I am using gretl
great! welcome!
(1) Within gretl, is it possible to change the ordering of
variables, and keep i.e. save this changed ordering?
Yes, through the
"Variable-> edit attribute" menu (or right-click on the
variable) and change the ID number.
(2) Within gretl, suppose a dataset contains observation labels e.g.
company names. Is it possible to remove all observation labels from the dataset so that
there are none?
Mmmm, can you try the "Data -> Observation markers"
menu? I know there's
a similar stuff to add/remove the variables labels (the "Data->
Variables labesl" menu) but never tried with observations'.
(3) Finally, I would like to standardize the regressors (not the
dependent variable) in my dataset, such that each regressor has mean 0 and standard
deviation of 1. Is there a "summary way" to do this e.g. by declaring the
dataset to be a matrix, then operating on this matrix using some matrix operators?
I
guess you could do this by using the "meanc" and "sdc" commands.
Could anyone provide an idea how to resolve these issues,
please? I'd appreciate this a lot.
Hope it helps,
Artur
