Re: Naming variable question

How about,

Code: Select all

sample firstmonths @all if @mod(@month, 3) = 1
sample secondmonths @all if @mod(@month, 3) = 2
sample thirdmonths @all if @mod(@month, 3) = 0

Re: Naming variable question

Perhaps the simple solution is to perform the RMSE calculation explicitly, using either the current sample, e.g., @sqrt(@sumsq(x - x_f) / @obs(x_f)) or an explicit sample, e.g., @sqrt(@sumsq(x - x_f, "<sample>") / @obs(x_f, "<sample>")) to specify the observations you're consider...

Re: Naming variable question

Hello,

You can certainly calculate the correct month-of-the-quarter defined by the end of a sample, e.g., the current sample,

Code: Select all

!q = @mod(@datepart(@dateval(@word(@pagesmpl, 2)), "mm") - 1, 3) + 1
series x_!q = ...

Re: Commands like @coefs

Hello,

Sure, you can use @r2 or @rbar2 (adjusted R^2). If you look at the data member section of the equation documentation, you'll see that you can access just about every piece of equation-related information.

Re: Dependencies using commands?

Hello, There is a pair of undocumented model procedures for returning upwards and downwards dependencies. model.@depends("foo") returns a string containing the variables that "foo" depends on (downward), and model.@upends("foo") returns a string containing the variables...

Re: Near singular matrix error

I suspect this is a starting values issue (your coefficient object c is probably all zeros, which is creating problems when the coefficients are first used in your system). Randomize the starting coefficients by running the command "rnd(c)" in the command window before attempting the estim...

Re: Near singular matrix error

Hello,

Curious, that's not the issue I experience when I attempt to perform the estimation you describe. Could you provide your EViews workfile with the system object ready to estimate?

Re: log of non-positive number

Hello,

I'm able to reproduce your issue with EViews 10. It appears that there is multicollinearity among your regressors, which is causing an internal descriptive statistic to fail (EViews 11 skips this statistic).

Re: SQL code in separate file when reading data from an ODBC source?

Hello, As you've discovered, @wread has both some buggy behavior and some features that are not documented. The good news is that in an upcoming patch to both EViews 10 and 11 we'll add the ability to read an external file into a string in a "raw" mode with no processing. That will preserv...

Re: @datediff between quarter end

Hello,

Both of those expressions evaluate to 1 for me. Is your copy of EViews 9.5 up to date? Nov 1, 2018 is the most recent patch.

Re: Count and %change of observations between resets

Let "x" be the numerical series and "flag" be the 0/1 series, how about this: series obs = @recode(flag(-2) = na, @obsid - 1, @recode(flag(-1) <> flag(-2), 1, obs(-1) + 1)) series pc = 100 * (x - x(-obs)) / x(-obs) smpl if flag <> flag(-1) I'm assuming a full-sample evaluation. T...

Re: Week number code

Hello, Since you have weekly data (dated I assume), for practical purpose is not the simple definition that week 1 is the first observation of the year, week 2 is the second observation of the year, etc., sufficient? This definition matches how EViews displays the date for each week by default (the ...

Re: name series with for cycle

Hello, The "{%last}+!i" expression works as part of a smpl statement, but not as a general expression elsewhere in an EViews program. You'll need to use the date manipulation functions to create the string you want. For example, %tmp = @datestr(@dateadd(@dateval(%last), !i, "MM")...
