FINDMISSINGDATA
|
|||||
Introduction |
This command returns variables with missing values in the Work databank.
|
||||
Syntax |
FINDMISSINGDATA < period > period variables ;
If no list of variables is given, all variables in the Work databank will be investigated
|
||||
Example |
For instance, the command
FINDMISSINGDATA <2008 2010>;
looks for all variables with any missing values in the period 2008-2010. You may restrict it like this:
FINDMISSINGDATA <2008 2010> #vars;
where the list #vars contains the relevant variables you want to check. Gekko outputs a number of lists from the investigation: for instance the list #missingdata contains all variables with missing data in the Work databank, whereas the lists #missingdata_all, #missingdata_endo etc. are subsets of that list, and correspond to the Gekko-defined lists #all, #endo etc. (i.e., all model variables, all endogenous model variables, etc.).
You may use wild-card lists if preferable:
FINDMISSINGDATA <2008 2010> [fX*] [fYf*];
This will check all variables starting with 'fX' or 'fYf'.
If a period is not given, the global time setting is used.

Note |
The command is convenient when developing new models or changing existing models.
