Re: Is there a solver tool?

Hi I too failed to manage to use the command-line version of irrval. Tried both the global command, and the series version. Irrval(series=«seriesname») Irrval(«seriesname») Irrval(seriesname) (And with versions like scalar test = …. Any of the above). Seriesname.irrval(results) Since the menu -alter...

Re: irrval

Hi 1) if download irrval via the add-ins menu in EV13 you get the one-sided HP-filter add-in by the same author. You have to download the package from add-in list on web. 2) I don’t get the command-line versions to store results. It saves «status», but not the scalar result. The menu alternative wor...

Vertical axis with "gap"

Hi, I have values in my data that make it very difficult to show the (main) variation (big "outliers"). I can cap the axis to show the normal variation, but then I miss the maximum value. Is there a way to present vertical (data)-axis with "gaps"? Example: Ordinary variation is w...

Re: Using functions on groups

Hi, I too would like to use functions on groups. (User request!!!). The way I fix it now is the following: for !i = 1 to gr_data.@count %varname = gr_data.@seriesname(!i) tab_descstats(1,!c) = %varname !mret = (1+@mean({%varname}))^12-1 !sdret = @stdev({%varname}) tab_descstats(2,!c) = !mret ' Retur...

Setting "distance" between symbols in graphs

Hi,

If have long time-span of high-frequency data. If I use symbols in time-series line-graphs it becomes so many that the line becomes impossible to see.

How can I set distance between symbols? A bit similar to how one can set distance between labels on X-axis.

Thanks in advance,

Dagfinn

Re: Passing arguments to programs

Thanks.
For some reason I thought I couldn't call a subroutine from within a subroutine.

So if I want the SUBROUTINE in a program for later reference, I can use a INCLUDE-command, and then CALL it in the program.

Passing arguments to programs

Hi, I want to have a code that I can reuse to create "significant-asteriks" next to regression-coefficents in tables. This attempt works : subroutine signif(string %eq, scalar !coef) !sig10 = 0 !sig5 = 0 !sig1 = 0 if {%eq}.@pval(!coef) < 0.01 then !sig1=1 endif if {%eq}.@pval(!coef) < 0.05...

Re: Group Sum

Hi, @rsum is of course very nice, but it propagates NAs. Code above can be fixed to deal with NAs. 'some group grp series grpsum = 0 for !grcount = 1 to grp.@count grpsum = grpsum + @nan(grp(!grcount),0) next Maybe add a version of group-row functions that don't propagate NAs?

Re: ranking problem with @ranks

Hi a request: it would be very useful if @ranks could control how NAs are treated. Useful example is eg. for constructing portfolios in empirical asset pricing. However, a solution is: group x x_* !n = @obsrange !m = x.@count stomna(x,_tmp_mx) matrix(!n,!m) m_Ranks for !r = 1 to !n rowvector _tmp_rv...

Re: notepad++ syntax highlingting for EViews

Hi,

thanks for making this available.

I already have NotePad++ installed for other purposes. Which files do I need to take from your "full" setup in order to make it similar?

Solution?
Just copy into my existing notepad++-folder and keep any files with same name?


Thanks

Re: import data into eViews from SAS

Hi, Eviews 8 and 9 read the ordinary sas7bdat-files. However, it doesn't translate eg. SAS-date to Eviews date (number-format is different). Using the SAS ODBC link does this, hence is very useful. (Of course, since SAS-time is seconds since midnight, and Eviews-time is share of day (I think/hope), ...

Re: Problems with Eviews and DataStream (Win 8.1)

Sorry!

Yes, I receive the ordinary about "Datastream Series Picker" error message (don't remember exact wording as I'm on a different machine now). The one that is supposed to be fixed with the updated DLL.

Best,
