Might be a bug. You can still do it from the command line: wfopen http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/data/WGS1YR.txt Although, of course, if you're using EViews 7 and want to get data from FRED, you might was to just use the FRED interface (File->Open->Database, then switch database type to FRED)

Off the top of my head I have no ideas on the Durbin Watson. For the AR coefficients, it is either that TSP uses a different calculation method, or that it is simply different starting values. If you use the TSP results as starting values in EViews, does it then give the same answers? Similarly, if ...

1) {%name}_VAR.append(svar) @e1 = C(1)*@u1 {%name}_VAR.append(svar) @e2 = C(2)*@e1 + C(3)*@u2 etc... 2) Use smat= instead of matbyr= 3)I think you're getting confused between tables and matrices. Step 2 actually created a matrix, not a table. You can use the matplace function to put matrices into bi...

It means that due to the specification of your state space model, there is no unique solution, and EViews is reporting one of the possibilities.

Could you define what you mean by a normality plot?

Thanks for letting us know about the bug - was a bad one, glad you caught it early.

New patch is up, that should fix it.

Yep, we broke it. We'll get a new patch up asap. In the mean time you can revert back to the previous patch, by re-downloading it.

Yep, the latest patch broke a few things. We're working on it...

ok. I think I know what caused that. We'll investigate

You could download the EqBootStrap Add-in if you have EViews 7.1, though.

Note for equations with auto-series (i.e. expressions such as log(x) or x^2) as variables, the bootstrap variables type of bootstrap will only work if your version of EViews 7.1 is dated at 2010/05/11 or later. If it isn't (and you can check by clicking on Help->About EViews), you should download th...

This thread is about the EqBootstrap Add-in that bootstraps a linear least squares equation, allowing you to bootstrap either the standard errors or the point estimates. Note this add-in should not be used on weighted least squares or equations with ARMA terms.
