Hello,

A fix will be included in the new EViews patch.

Hello,

It's indeed a bug. It'll be fixed in the next patch.

Hello,

Include the "title" option with the save procedure, e.g.,

Hello, Are you storing/viewing the result of @varlist or @subst via an alpha series? Alpha series have a adjustable character limit (Options -> General Options... -> Series and Alphas -> Alpha truncation) that would explain the issue you describe. However, if you simply avoid an alpha series, for ex...

Hello,

You can perform a Lasso regression as a special case using EViews' ENET estimator. The documentation has all the details, but you can easily evaluate multiple lambda values as part of the estimation.

Hello, The setmaxerrs command specifies which error will halt the program, e.g. setmaxerrs 4 stopping at the 4th error, not the number of allowed errors, e.g. setmaxerrs 4 stopping at the 5th error. A difference of only one error, but I understand how the description of setmaxerrs could be ambiguous...

Hello,

There have been updates to various model procedures, but nothing that I believe would cause such a fundamental change to add factor behavior. I haven't been able to replicate the issue you describe, would you be able to provide a workfile demonstrating the problem?

Hello,

The function you describe already exists: @firstsby. For your example, I believe "@firstsby(x, @crossid)" would produce the results you want.

Hello, Given the situation you describe, I'd consider it very unlikely that the solution changes you've observed are a consequence of the underlying solver used, e.g. Broyden vs Newton. While changing the number of equations in the model will affect the sequence of innovations used across the stocha...

You're right. That should've been fixed in the most recent patch, but the next patch will correct this issue.

Hello,

Yes, that's a small reporting error. Fixed in the next patch.

Hello,

Subroutine names follow the same general name rules as variables in EViews program. Specifically, subroutine names can be alphanumeric strings, not beginning with a numerical digit, and may include the symbols _ and $.

Hello, Elaborating on Gareth's response, there was a major update to the Model::control procedure in EView 12 when we introduced the ability for multivariate controls. While I'd describe the new algorithm as numerically superior overall, it can be more computationally intensive even in the univariat...

Hello, No, at least not easily, as the model always internally generates the residuals for bootstrapping and there is no facility to provide your own series/group of custom residuals. Technically, you could alter the actual series so that the internally generated residuals would match your desired r...

Hello, EViews doesn't provide exception-style error handling, but a program can detect that an error has occurred and react rather than simply stopping. For example: setmaxerrs 2 fetch(d="x:\<path-to-a -database\somedatabase.edb") {%CONCEPTS} !error_occurred = @errorcount > 0 clearerrs set...
