Thank you very much, Leon and Allin.

GRTL runs perfectly well my analyses.

Kind regards

Asunto: Re: [Gretl-users] sampling by restriction on a $i variable within a loop

Hi,

here is sample script that should help u further.
As a general point the $i is used for strings/stringsubstitution. In ur code u are referring to numbers.
What u need to do is first is defining a list with these numbers and then use the $i, but have a look:

<hansl>
open abdata.gdt
set echo off
set messages off

list xList = seq(3,5)
matrix alphas = zeros(nelem(xList),1)

loop foreach i xList --quiet
    smpl $i>0 --restrict
    ols $i lags(1,$i) --quiet
    alphas[i] = $coeff
endloop

eval mean(alphas)
eval sd(alphas)
# compared to the --progressive switch
loop foreach i xList --progressive
    smpl $i>0 --restrict
    ols $i lags(1,$i)
endloop
<hansl>

Cheers
Leon

Dear GRTL users,

                Probably it is a stupid question, but …

how can I restrict data analyses within a loop affecting several response variables $i, when the restriction affects each variable $i?

the line    “smpl  $i > 0 --restrict”    does not work within this loop (from response variable 39 to response variable 145):

loop i=39..145 --progressive

smpl $i > 0 --restrict

quantreg {.95} $i const TMINstd TMINstd2 PRECmedINVstd PRECINVstd2 --robust

… more commands …

endloop

PD: I have a very large sample size (n=1690)

Thanks you very much in advance
