There are two interpretations to that question. The first is "what is the mathematical way of defining the troughs", the second is "How do I do that in EViews".

I can't figure out which one you're asking.

Ah, yes, I misunderstood whether you wanted the last date for which any series has a value or the last date for which all series have a value.

I'm posting from my phone, so can't test this, but something along the lines of:

That's a crazy looking loop you have there, it seems you're running two loops, one inside the other, using !i for both. However I don't think that is causing the error. The most likely cause is that one of the ARCH estimations is going wrong. Nobody is going to be able to help much more than that wi...

I think you'll have to go through a workfile. Copy from the database to a workfile of the desired frequency, then copy back to a database.

Hadn't even occurred to me what would happen to the display names - I'll make it something better. Any suggestions on what it should be?

New one should be up.

Our mistake. We'll put up a new one soon.

A very rough, quick version: !t = 100 'workfile size !k = 3 'number of variables !l = 2 'number of lags in VAR !its = 100 'number of repititions. 'make workfile create u !t 'declare VAR object to be used for estimation VAR theVAR 'make string containing names of variables (populated in the loop belo...

If you open the Add-in program, you'll notice there's a ton of lines that say


Change those all to be

to change the colour to green, etc...

I just ran your code, and although it often chose 1 lag, it often didn't (i.e. it chose other numbers). I can't see anything really wrong with your code, to be honest.

You can use the PCOMP group view/proc. It is found in the Object Reference in the Group section.

The only real way is to make a screenshot (press print-screen, then paste in Word)

Without getting too technical, if you run your data against 100 different empirical distributions, at 95% significance, you'll come up with 5 that say they match, even though they don't. In general you can't run multiple econometric/statistical tests in a row without adjusting for the fact that you ...

Not for the forseeable future - it is really hard for us to implement. Although we'd love to do it, allocating the time when there are so many other cool features... Of course you can sort of use an Add-in that way. Write a program that does what you want, then give it a proc name, plus make it take...
