Re: VARSEL Auto-Search / Gets

I'd like to make some suggestions to improve this and make it more like Autometrics. First, I'd suggest that when the GUM fails a test and gives and error that EViews suggest to use indicator saturation methods. A message could be "GUM failed X specification tests : List of tests failed: X1, X2...

Forecast Evaluation in EViews 10+

Sometimes when I try to produce out of sample forecast evaluation statistics by clicking the box, they do not appear - just a chart.

It seems completely random. Anyone else experience this?

Re: Programming a table

I want to freeze and rename, can it be done in two lines?

equation eq6.ls(optmethod=opg) depvar c
freeze eq6.ls equation1

(and rename it as a table called equation1)

When I run above it won't accept the name. I get an error when I run RENAME in a separate line.

I am sure this is very simple.

Re: GARCH with variables

I am performing a wald test on exogenous regressors in the variance equation of a garch model.

EViews output provides t-, f- and chi-squared tests. I am not particularly sure which to report in this scenario.

Anyone familiar with this situation?

Re: Copying series between two workfiles

It appears I found the answer by adjusting the frequency conversion method. Not sure what I did for one page to behave differently, but it appears to be solved.

Copying series between two workfiles

I am attempting to copy data from one workfile to another. The source workfile has an irregular date format and the target is a regular five day week format. I want to copy the data from the source to the target so that it fills target workfile with the source data only on the dates in the source, l...

So I decided to remove my version of R and statconnDCOM and start from scratch. I encountered difficulties that i...
