Identifying Variable Names within a Transformation

[tchaithonov]

Hi Guys, how's everyone doing?

I've always known that within Forecast, one can choose to forecast on the transformed/modeled dep var or its raw form. I wonder how Eviews identify that raw variable from the transformed one, since it would be quite useful if there is a function somewhere that could do such a thing:

Code: Select all

@functA(blah/@meansby(blah,@crossid) -> blah

I know that Eviews is written in C++ in the backend so this kind of function might not be available for Eviews programming, but I just wonder if there is an equivalent of this rather than looping through the variable name and look for specific patterns (like "/@meansby" in this case). Please let me know. Thanks.

There isn't a function that will do that. I'll contemplate adding one for EViews 8 though.
