[Gretl-users] Assign NA to first observation of a series

[Logan Kelly]

Hello,

I have a matrix that I need to store as a series, but while the sample is t 
observation the matrix has only t-1 rows, i.e. the first observation is 
missing. The following works, but I am not sure this is the correct thing to do:

Series MySeries = NA|MyMatrix

While this works, it triggers the following warning:

Warning: generated non-finite values

What is the correct way to deal with a missing observation? I would rather not 
insert a zero.

Thanks,

Logan
