Set Up Using BMA & ExpSmooth Add-Ins

[kjd31]

Hi there,

I'm looking to install and run the BMA and ExpSmooth add-ins. I'm using EViews 8 64-bit. Currently, I just have R installed on my computer, and have downloaded the files for the forecast package listed under the ExpSmooth add-in. Otherwise, there is no documentation or direction as to how to get the add-ins running properly. Can somebody from EViews please give me a basic step-by-step walk through for running both add-ins successfully, or provide me with a phone # to call?

Thank you.

If you're using EViews 8, there's little point in using the ExpSmooth add-in, given that ETS smoothing was added to EViews 8. For the BMA add-in, your best bet is to read the documentation that comes with the Add-in.

We do not offer phone (or email) support for Add-ins.

What documentation comes with the add-in? When you download the add-in from your website it's just the .aipz file...?

Once you've installed the add-in, the documentation is available from the Manage Add-ins menu.
