Inverting a matrix

Postby Flustered » Tue Nov 11, 2014 12:06 am

Can you please give me the steps to invert a matrix in Eviews. The original file is in Excel and it is a 15 by 15 matrix.

Try typing "inverse" into the Help system.

I did but since I am new to Eviews I don't know exactly how to execute the @inverse command they are directing me to. That's why I asked for step by step instruction. I don't know what to do after I have imported the Excel file into Eviews.

When I type this command it says 'b is not defined'.

It was an example. Change "b" to be the name of your matrix.
