Hi all,
first of all thank you for this powerful und useful piece of software, its
great!
Now I have a little question: I have a time series variable p and want to
creat a new variable called r with the exponential moving average of p, so
r = \alpha*r_{t-1}+(1-\alpha)*p_{t-1}.
Any idea how to create this r? Thanks a lot.
This script is actually tested in teaching, and since you seem to speak
German...:
#Statt "Variablenname" gewünschte Variable eintragen, und alpha
raw = colgpa
scalar alpha = 0.9
#Ende Benutzereingabe
series forecast=mean(raw)
forecast = alpha * forecast(-1) + (1-alpha)*raw
delete raw
delete alpha
