Hello, I know it has been a few years, but I'm working on a problem which could benefit from revisiting this code. I can see some components above. But my knowledge of eviews is not up there to complete the task by myself. May I ask for the necessary commands some of which may have been omitted abov...

Sorry for the bother. Found the settings sub-folder within Application Data\xxx\

Dear all,

When moving from an XP machine to Win7 (I know this sounds historical already), which config files could be useful to copy over in order to preserve general and graphics defaults? Where are these located?

many thanks

Ok, after designing my workfile following this discussion, I found that the ability to choose the range of observations in the @cumprod command solved most of my problems regarding NA values. I ended up using a formula like frml f_gdp=@cumprod(1+gr*.01,"1995q2 @last")*@elem(gdp,"1995q...

Gareth, thanks again. This works in my example –- but just about; if I have minor variations, it may fail. E.g. in a real life situation, we would need to define one workfile and study several series; some may have NA values at the beginning. Or, we may have to use the formula y=y(-4)*gr if we are d...

Many thanks Gareth. Will try this right away and report back. I was looking for just this kind of workaround idea. In future, would it make sense to allow an frml object to have different formula definitions over different smpl's? In that case, we could allow it to have a base value at t=1, then a f...

Thanks Gareth. Yes I know frml as the command to produce auto updating series. But, how would I overcome the circular definition problem of frml objects? I could not enter GDP=GDP(-1)*growth in an frml object –- it would give me a circular definition error.

I'm using Eviews 8. Is there any workaround available to use auto updating calculations in a dynamic way? Just to give the simplest example, if we want to assume some quarter-on-quarter rates of change for GDP, is it possible to play with these assumptions while observing their result on GDP level? ...

Finally, I can work around this by using the addtext command with specific coordinates.

I guess I'm still finding myself unable to display the data value next to the points, or any way of annotating data labels next to the points in a programmatic way....

Is there a way around this?

Actually, I can do it now. the command:

spike(l) x y

works on cross section data as usual. Then I change the line graph to show only symbol (this generates the green data points).

I guess the simple trick that would solve my problem would be the ability to 'layer' (e.g. ggplot in R) or superimpose (e.g. Mathematica) graphs in the multiple graph function. Then I would just do a spike chart for the range, and a line chart for the data-points separately, then show them layered/s...

Ok, still thanks for having a look Gareth.

Hi, Here is an example for any 1 country in a sample. I need to generate it using command language for, say, 30 countries. Those orange bars would be the same in all charts (that's range of entire sample), but the green dots would move relative to the range as you change the country. Thanks Tatha.png

Hi Gareth, It’s a bit similar to what the Eviews manual shows under categorical plots (box plot option). The range of sample variation is plotted like a bar, and within that bar, a symbol is plotted to show where a country lies on the range of variation. Or, one can visualise a open-low-close type g...
