save data from linefit

[maxchen]

In Eviews 5

Code: Select all

%wf = @evpath + "\Example Files\data\demo"
wfopen %wf
group g m1 gdp
g.linefit(yl,xb=-0.5,s=s1)


then the fitted series is saved in series s1.

In Eviews 7

Code: Select all

%wf = @evpath + "\Example Files\Sample Programs\stats\demo"
wfopen %wf
group g m1 gdp
g.scat linefit(yl,xb=-0.5)   'EViews 7
g.distdata(dtype=linefit) mm


It seems "distdata" do not work for linefit. The "Object Ref" p245 do not mention linefit. Is it another way out? ( besides fit an equation and compute the fitted values)

Correct, the only way to do it is by estimating an equation.
