Duplicate observations display for observations in the group.
Syntax
group_name.dups(opts)
A duplicate is defined as two observations with the same values for all series in the group.
By default, EViews displays a summary table showing the number of duplicate groups of a given size, but you may use the options to display an alternative view.
Of particular note is that the spreadsheet and individual duplicates displays are interactive - clicking on rows in one will open the display to show the other. Thus, clicking on a duplicate in the spreadsheet view will jump to show all of the observations that share that duplicate. Similarly, clicking on an observation in the shared individual duplicates view will jump to the corresponding observation in the full spreadsheet.
Options
graph | Display observation graph showing duplicates. |
sheet | Display spreadsheet view of duplicates. |
individ | Display first individual duplicates. |
Examples
grp1.dups
displays the duplicates summary for the group GRP1.
grp1.dups(sheet)
displays a spreadsheet showing highlighted duplicates.
