Dear list, I have the following problem, what i'm trying to do is to built a function which does the following calculationg in a recursive way:
I have a data frame more or less like this: variable year DELTA EC01 2006 / EC01 2007 10 EC01 2008 5 EC01 2009 9 And then I have at time 2009 a variable called R_EC01(2009)=5 What I have to do is to construct the R_EC01 time series by starting from the 2009 value: R_EC01(2008)=R_EC01(2009)-DELTA(2009) R_EC01(2007)=R_EC01(2008)-DELTA(2008) R_EC01(2006)=R_EC01(2007)-DELTA(2007) In terms of number, the results that i should get are: R_EC01(2008)=5-9=-4 R_EC01(2007)=-4-5=-9 R_EC01(2006)=-9-10=-19 so my data frame should looks like this SERIES YEAR value R_EC01 2006 -19 R_EC01 2007 -9 R_EC01 2008 -4 R_EC01 2009 5 Anyone Knows hot to do it?? My dataframe is not set as a time series... Thanks a lot!!!
