Hi everone.. I am recently trying to use and learn GRETL..I need help..when
i try to confront the sign of the return of the time series of index
FTSEMIB with the sign of the time series of the returns of every of the of
every of its 40 elementary members. In order to count how many times there
is an agreement between the sign of each return and that one of index
FTSEMIB.
I wanted to resolve the problem using the function SIGN but such function
lacks in the directory of Gretl.
I will be very pleased to have some suggestion to this issue.
Many thanks in advance

Hi,
series myproduct = series1 * series2
series nonnegprod = (myproduct >= 0)
should work I hope. (I.e., a boolean condition in parentheses should
produce a dummy series indicating where the condition is true.)

How about the following?
<script>
series agree = (ret * FTSEMIB) > 0
</script>

That's nice. The following may be overkill, but it handles a list
of series of arbitrary length (as in Giorgio's 40 components of
an index).
function series all_signs_same (series y, list L)
series ret = 1
scalar n = $nobs
loop t=1..n
loop foreach i L
prod = y[t] * L.$i[t]
if (missing(prod))
ret[t] = NA
break
elif prod < 0
ret[t] = 0
break
endif
endloop
endloop
return ret
end function
illustrative use:
open data9-7
series y = diff(QNC)
list L = 2 3 4
L = diff(L)
series same = all_signs_same(y, L)
printf "proportion of obs all same sign = %g\n", mean(same)
print y d_* same -o

Thank so much Allin. I have tried your script and works perfectly.
