Hi All,

I have never used Hansl or Gauss before and I am trying to work out how to get 
a programme working to create a matrix of spearman correlations.  Allin created 
one last month, which I tried to run and kept getting 'No redo information 
available'.  Rather than coming running and asking for help I went to Chat GPT 
asked it what it meant which has gone over my head. I also asked it to decrible 
each line of the programme as I've done some programming decades ago.  So I 
asked Chat gpt to create me a programme which is very similar to Allin's but 
with my filename in and variable names in. I get the same error.  I'm wondering 
if someone could direct me into what I should be doing.  My data file is 
Panel2.gdt and I have four variable ROE, ENV,SOC and GOV.  It is a panel 
datafile which is already set up as panel data.  The programme from ChatGPT is 
the following.  Please can someone be helpful to a novice I'm sure there is 
something very simple that I don't know what to do.

// Function to calculate Spearman correlations and p-values for a list of 
variables
function matrix spearman_matrix(list variables)
    matrix SC = {};
    strings rnames = array(0);
    n = nelem(variables);

    loop i = 1..n
        loop j = 1..i-1
            // Calculate Spearman correlation and p-value
            SC |= npcorr(variables[j], variables[i], spearman);
            // Construct row names
            rnames += sprintf("%s_%s", varname(variables[j]), 
varname(variables[i]));
        endloop
    endloop

    // Set column names
    cnameset(SC, defarray("Spearman", "t-stat", "p-value"));
    // Set row names
    rnameset(SC, rnames);

    return SC;
end function;

// Open your dataset
open panel2.gdt;

// Specify the variables of interest
list variables = deflist("ROE", "ENV", "SOC", "GOV");

// Calculate Spearman correlations and p-values
matrix SC_matrix = spearman_matrix(variables);

// Print the resulting matrix
print SC_matrix;


Thank you for any help
