Forecasting with auto-updating series

[trubador]

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I think EViews should be able to ignore the formulae and generate the forecast for the dependent variable:

Code: Select all

wfcreate u 100 series y1 = nrnd series y2 = nrnd frml z = y1(-1)/y2(-3) equation eq.ls z c eq.forecast(e,g) zf

Not a bug and an interesting and natural extension of the current model. We'll put it on the list.

Thanks. From the practical point of view, we definitely need that feature as we often have to work with ratios in economics and finance, which leads to an additional (and unnecessary) effort to generate and update such series.
