External Databases and Date Mismatch
Hi there I am pulling data from Bloomberg and Haver directly into a workfile at a weekly frequency ending on a Saturday. If I run the commands in my EViews the dates are matched as follows: 12/03 -> 13/03; 19/03 -> 20/03 i.e. if in the database the data is coded to the Friday then it is matched to t...

Re: Exclude specify country in the panel data
Along the same vein so posting here. I am estimating a 2SLS panel model using lags of the endogenous variables as instruments. I have the sample period 2002 to 2016, so when estimating the sample is automatically adjusted by EViews to 2003-2016 to account for the lagged instruments. If I drop a cros...

Re: Obtaining weights with Principal component analysis
Hi there, I would like to obtain the minimum average partial statistic for PCA so that I can ascertain the 'optimal' number of principle components to retain. I am aware that this is a built in function for choosing the optimal number of factors in the factor analysis tool but I was wondering how I ...

Re: Obtaining weights with Principal component analysis
Thank you for your response Glenn - I have managed to obtain what i wanted to calculate from your code. I did have another more general question - i understand that EViews can report both the loadings and the eigenvectors, why would these be the same when using the covariance method of PCA? Thanks, ...

Re: Obtaining weights with Principal component analysis
Hi there, I have a very similar question on PCA to the original here so hopefully this is the right place to post this. I have run covariance PCA on a set of normalised data and extracted the eigenvectors, eigenvalues and the first principle component. What I am struggling with is if I apply the fol...

Re: Frequency conversion settings
How does this work if you are pulling directly from a database?
E.g. if I am pulling an annual GDP series from Bloomberg or Haver into a quarterly work file it will automatically follow the setting that I have last used in the general options?

Frequency conversion settings
Hi there, Is there a way for me to ensure that the low to high frequency conversion settings will always be the same when I run a particular program? For example, in some instances I might want to use a constant value for the period say if I were using a policy rate, whilst if I were pulling through...

Re: Large Bayesian VAR
Hi there, Can I just confirm that the definition of the impulse responses is for a 1 standard deviation shock to the variable of interest when using the recursive/cholesky decomposition definition of the IRFs? If this is the case in the output if I shock the fed funds rate by 1 s.d. the chart is sho...

Re: Large Bayesian VAR
Thanks Dakila - could you explain to me the difference between the generalized and cholesky impulse response functions? Am i right in thinking that generalized allow you to estimate the impact of the shocks independent of the impact of the shock on other variables within the system, hence you do not...

Re: Large Bayesian VAR
Thank you. Is it possible to view the final coefficient estimates and the impulse responses in an extractable format rather than a frozen graph object?
Thanks,

Re: Large Bayesian VAR
Thank you for your quick response dakila. How is the cholesky ordering specified? Is this taken from the ordering of the variables in the model specification?

Re: Large Bayesian VAR
Hi there I am trying to estimate a LBVAR in using the add in but I have a couple of questions on the estimation procedure. 1. Is the model estimated following the hierarchical approach of Giannone et al (2012) in their paper prior selection for vector autoregressions? 2. Are the impulse responses fo...

Oh wow! I was being genuinely moronic... Just needed to transpose one of the matrices. Apologies!

Re: Elementwise multiplication
Hi Gareth
This only works if the matrices are of the same size, in excel the data has to be the same number of columns as rows in the first.
Is there a way to do the matrix product of two matrices of differing sizes?
First matrix is 15x15 and the second is 1x15.
Thanks,
Abi
