Thanks Gareth!
One more thing. The estimated model has some estimated residuals from which, as you showed me, eviews will bootstrap.
Can I modify these residuals somehow and then use the "stochastic options" command to bootstrap the modified version?

Thank you for your help.

Hello, I have specified a model, out of a system of equations. My aim is to do a stochastic simulation. Instead of doing a Monte Carlo under normality of the residuals, I want to do a bootstrap (I know that Eviews can do that, it is written with few words in the help of the command "stochastic&...

Ok, thank you.
I suggest for the moment to change the help to clarify this issue.

Are you entering equation objects, or series objects?

equation objects

I am just using the automatic procedure in the "forecast evaluation" window. From that, a DM test is generated (reading the help, for a one step ahead forecast). But when I look at the figure generated by that forecast, I see that it is a sequence of one-step ahead, two step ahead, three s...

Suppose I enter two time series *equations* to do a horserace in forecasting in the forecasting window (the window where you can do the Diebold-Mariano test). I let eviews do the forecast and do the DM test. BUT! the forecasts that Eviews does are a sequence of one-step ahead, two-step ahead, .... H...

Thank you for your very competent answer. Now I understand what's going on... My panel is unbalanced. This is what Eviews is doing (which does not seem to be correct, but anyway...): 1. for the balanced part of the panel, it computes the correct variances and covariances. 2. for the unbalanced part ...

Hello, I am trying to understand what weighting matrix Eviews is using in estimating a SUR system. My Eviews results do not match with results from other softwares, therefore, I need to understand exacty what weighting matrix Eviews is using. All the details of the estimation are comparable (one ste...

Thank you!

Hello, I would like to add in the text of a figure a scalar, say x.
how to transform the scalar to be read as a text?
something like:
fig1.addtext(b) y

where y is the text version of x

Thank you!

very useful, thank you! Finally I know where starting values are stored.

yes... indeed!
the starting values are those appearing in the vector c?
should I go to the vector c and change one by one the values?

Hello, I was running non-linear least squares and I got an overflow. Since then, all other maximization routines that were estimating other equations (and were working before the overflow) got stuck and I kept on obtaining overflows also in equations that i was able to estimate without any problems....
