Re: st: Running loops with graphs

[Sebastian Galarza <sebastian@theicct.org>]

Eric, 

Thanks for your suggestions. I will try to clarify my problem so that you or others can better address the issue. I currently have a panel database organized by oil wells (i) with monthly data (WOR) for 50 years.  I want to run the goodness of fit tests for each oil well just as you suggested but I am not sure where to include i unless it would be something along the lines of by `"`i'"' : nl …. however this is the reason I thought about using the for values command. 

I hope this provides greater clarity and can serve others that encounter similar issues in the future. 


Best, 

Sebastian
