Making a filter in Eviews

Postby newbie001 » Fri Jun 20, 2014 2:39 pm

Hi, I'm a new user of Eviews and new to these boards so I apologize in advance if these questions seem obvious.

I am using Eviews to test different variables in a model and I want to be able to filter out certain "bad" results (i.e. if the variable being tested has a t-stat of less than 1, or the coefficient of the variable is >100). I was wondering if it was possible to make such a filter and how would one go about doing it. Can you pull out information such as the coefficient and t-stat and assign it to an "object" linked to the variable you want to test, then run an if statement which filters out bad results such as those?

Thanks for the help.

You can grab the datamembers from an equation to use them to test for significance, etc... The first few pages of the Equation section of the Object Reference PDF has a list of data members.
