thanks jeff and jeremie,
i am attaching 40 rows of the data, randomly picked from the large table.
the vars are - entity (1-46, with some missing IDs not included due to
missing data), group (1/2), sub group (1/2/3/4), year (2002-2016), y, x1
and x2 - large values included due to size of players - (may not be
considered as outliers as they constitute the sample and are important
countrywide entities)
hope this helps.
i thought an hts may be a better analytical tool compared to panel (a pivot
table in excel helps me obtain some aggregation), hence the query ...
thanks for your guidance,
*....*
