Re: [Gretl-users] Recode variable
Em 16 de dezembro de 2010 Laurent Schuermans <laurent.schuermans(a)gmail.com>:
Dear all,
In econometric classen, we use gretl along with the Principles of
Econometrics handbook. Now we have to write a paper and do research about a
subject of own interest while using gretl.
The problem however is that I don't know how to recode variables in gretl.
I have a bunch of dichotomious variables with categories 1 and 2 that I want
to recode to 0 and 1, which is easier for interpretation, but I don't know
how to do this.
Can somebody help me out?
Dear Laurent, suppose you have two series, "variable1", with the values
"2",
and "variable2", with values "1". I think you could try this:
*<script>*
*series* variable1 = variable1 - 1
*series* variable2 = variable2 - 1
*</script>*
I hope this helps you :-)
Best,
