maximum number of parameters in coef c

[basil2013]

Hi

I am running a program with a large number of parameters to be estimated (potentially in the neighborhood of 10000) and it seems that the maximum number of parameters that coef c can store is only 750!

Although I can specify as many parameters I want, once I run the program and initialize parameters I get the following error message: ' Matrix-Vector index is out of range in Param statement in " PARAM C(751) ........... ' where a number is on the dots.

So is it really a stack overflow for coef c?

Does anyone have a suggestion on handling this overflow?

I am running: version 7.2 - enterprise edition - Jun 13 2013 build

Cheers

In EViews 7 you're limited to estimating your equation by expression rather than by list, and then using your own coefficient vector.

Note in EViews 8 you can use your own coefficient vector when estimating by list.

Thanks a lot.
