Re: st: Generate combined with if

[Katia Bobulova <katia.bobulova@googlemail.com>]

I want just to do regressions for different time intervals (identified
by id) and the dependent variable should be the price 30min later
(id=10) and 5minutes before (id=3) the event happen.

cond doesn't seem to be the solution.

Thanks,
Katia
