Re: st: How to perform a productory
For the sake of completeness:
Two Brazilian diccionaires for the Portuguese language registry the word
"somat�rio". In statistics and mathematics we use the simbol upper-case
Greek sigma. The same diccionaires do not registry "produt�rio", but we use
it in the spoken language and the symbol is the upper-case Geek pi. Then,
curiously, we have the symbol to write, the word to speak but not formally
the writen word.

In Portuguese (from Portugal) the word "produt�rio" is well known and
commonly used. It may be different in Brazil...

I Googled "productory" and didn't find anything recognisable.
Perhaps you want a running product.
gen runningproduct = exp(sum(log(K_1)))
Alternatively, if you ask in Italian, somebody should
recognise what you want. There is no "English only" rule.
