I would like to store in a vector (or in a group, I don't know) the "s.e. of regression"s for all my 17 equations that I have in a file. What would be the command line for that? Thank you a lot.

Code: Select all

%eqlist = @wlookup("*","equation")
!n = @wcount(%eqlist)
vector(!n) ses
for !i=1 to !n
   %eq = @word(%eqlist, !i)
   ses(!i) = {%eq}.@se
next

Hi guys, I am new to Eviews. I have a couple of question and appreciate any help.

I have the following code and trying to understand what it does: Specifically I need to first know what does w{%Y}(!i+1) mean?

You have two for loops. The first loops through %Y, the second loops through !i.

%Y is looping through object names. !i is looping through elements. Thus the first time through, we have w{%y}(!i+1), which means w914(1), which is the first element of the vector w914.

Thanks. So does that mean we never enter the if statement because we have not defined w914 yet?

w914 must have existed prior to running the program. You'll enter the if statement if the first element of it is not equal to an NA.

Ohhh. Thank you very much. That helped a lot. So, I have two more question:

1. w{%Y}eqb{!i}.ls log(w{%Y}) C YEAR does this generate a least square regression of log(w914) with some constant ? What is YEAR? does this also exist before running?

2. What does this mean? w{%Y}eqa{!i}.c(2)

1) It estimates an equation of log(w194) on a constant and the variable year (which would have to previously exist, yes). It stores this equation in the object w914eqb1
2) It retrieves the second coefficient from the equation w914eqb1

Excuse me if I am asking stupid questions. what is the effect of smpl 1960+!i 1965+!i? does this mean that we have selected certain values of w914 for eqa and eqb?

Yes. Only observations between 1960+1 and 1965+1 etc...

1. What is the format of w914eqa0 and w914eqb0 look like? I am trying to figure out what kind of table the .results line generates? for example when we try to access (4,1) element or (10,2)?


2. What does that 0.02 and 0.035 comes from? I feel that this program tries to do a t-test on a sample data, but I can not explain how. Any help on this is appreciated.

I think you'll have to play around a bit and figure out the rest :D

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I do not have access to eviews and that is why I am not able to run this program ans see the results. But, thanks anyway. You helped a lot.

Hi, I am new here so I hope you could help me.

We are doing an index for our work and it utilizes principal component analysis.
Basically, I have 10 variables which need to normalize. After normalizing the variables , I need to run a principal component analysis for these variables.
Once I have done that, I need to get the the 1st principal component for each variable and multiply that with the normalized values.
To get the index, I just need to add those values ( normalized values* 1st principal component)

So I would like to know if you could give the syntax.
What I want to do is to import the data from an excel file and run the commands I enumerated above.

TIA!
