reinclude add-factors
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2020 4:07 pm
Hi,
The EViews help doc says that when we use the reinclude model proc it generates an add factor for each variable. However, the add factors that are created using reinclude do not appear in the workfile. My hunch tells me that the add-factors do exist, but that they're hidden from view.
Q: Can someone confirm that this is what happens when using reinclude?
Q: Would it be best if the _a variables were automatically generated in the workfile when using reinclude?
On my hunch... I think I can detect that the add factors do exist somewhere, but it's difficult for me to explain how. Let me try. It basically boils down to me running identical simulations (with and without reinclude) and then comparing the deviations from makegraph(c,d) to my hand-made deviations (from e.g. series deviation=scenario1-scenario2). My hand-made deviations are 0, but they're positive in the makegraph. This detail is not important to my question, just some background information I've gathered to try to understand the inner workings of the proc.
Cheers,
Graeme

The specified variables are removed from the current active scenario’s exclude list, and generates an add factor for each variable so that the solution for the current scenario remains unchanged.
