Subject: st: recover the dimensions of a panel
Dear all,
I am working with a panel, and also need to do some matrix operations.
The problem is the matrices dimensions depend on the T and N
dimensions of the panel. Some times, I have to drop obs and the
dimension may change so I need to revise what are the dimensions of
the panel. Things are even more complicated if I use a do file.
Is there any easy way to do this? I usually work with -tsset but,
unfortunately, i did not find the way to get the dimensions of timevar
or panelvar.
Cheers
Paulo
