I'm not sure thats working, but thinking about it its not a good solution anyway because the forecasted variable is quarterly, so I need to have a forecast for each month of the quarter in quarter frequency. In other words, I'm back to needing to be able to name my forecasted variable something diff...

Yes this would be good. I suppose I could just create a sample for all first months, second months and third months. like this:

sample firstmonths = 2010m1 2010m4 2010m7 2010m10 2011m1 etc...

unless theres a quicker way?

Thanks Matt. I think your solution would work in the case of doing them all at once. What I'm looking to do is find the rmse of a model with mixed frequencies. So I thought I could create different variables for the forecast depending on how many months are known as the forecasts are made in an expa...

Hi, Is there a way to name a variable something different depending on when the sample ends? I have an expanding sample and I'd like to rename my variable some thing based on what month it is relative to the quarter. So all Januarys, Aprils, Julys and Octobers would be X_1 because they are the first...

I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for. Essentially I just want to know how to calculate the rmse for different time horizons where those time horizons reflect how many months of data I have. SO for my x, I would extend the series by using a moving average to the end of a quarter whenever there i...

Great. Could you direct me to some information on how to do it?

Is it possible to run a program that will calculate the rmse for a quarterly model with a monthly independent variable after each month of data is received. In other words. I have a simple quarterly model with one independent variable which is actually a monthly frequency converted to quarterly. I k...

Thanks Gareth.

Is there a clean way to program a combination objects in a word document or pdf. For example a few lines of text with a reference a recent data point ( e.g. last month sales grew [insert data point here]%, followed by a graph and some estimation results?

Thanks!

I'd like to create a number of series from the same equation with a number of different independent variables. For example y=0.5*x, but where I change what x is a number of times. I'm not quite getting the loop right. I tried:l for %var {%var_list} %v1="firstvariable" %v2="secondvaria...

Of course.so simple. thanks

Ok great. Now what do I do if I don't have a dependent variable? I'd like to compute what the independent variables and my coefficients imply for a series that does not exist. Is there a way to do that?

I have an equation with known parameters that I want to apply to some series to get a forecast. I could do it in excel but I was wondering if Its possible in eviews so that I can calculated rmses with it.

How would I manually input the coefficients I want in an equation rather than having them estimated by eviews?
