Hello Statalisters,
I've got a question regarding how to overlay two time series.
Let say I've got a Price Series (Pr) and from it, I generate a Price Index (PI)
that just divides Pr by it's base year value:
. gen PI = Pr/Pr[1]
Appropriately scaled these two series, when overlaid should match up perfectly.
What I would like to do is graph both these series, and if I look at the units
on the left hand side of the graph, I get the Price values, and if I look at
the units on the right hand side, I get the Index values.
I thought something like:
. twoway (connected Pr year) (connected PI year, yaxis(2))
But they don't line up exactly. How can I force them to?
This problem holds even in the simpler case where:
. gen Pr2 = Pr + 100
. twoway (connected Pr year) (connected Pr2 year, yaxis(2))
Many thanks.
