Can't find tests for serial correlation

Postby R_Dieleman » Thu Jun 12, 2014 6:11 am

I am using balanced panel data for a linear regression including an interaction term. I want to test this model on the assumptions of OLS, however, when I look at the equation, select "view" and then "residual diagnostics", there is only one option there, which is "histogram - normality test". The eviews guides tell me there should be about five options there, including the "serial correlation LM test". I cannot find this test in my menu. Is this due to my data or equation I am using? It is kind of problematic to miss all these testing options, can someone perhaps help me with this??

(I am using eviews 7, but I also had the same problem on a computer using eviews 8)

There are fewer built-in tests for panel data structures.

Thank you for the reply! Does this simply mean that I cannot use all of these tests for a balanced panel?
