Hello,

how do you calculate the power of a matrix in eviews 7 ?

I have:

matrix_Q (2,2)

This is the square of matrix Q:

matrix(2,2) matrix_Q2= matrix_Q*matrix_Q

How do you calculate

matrix(2,2) matrix_Qn=matrix_Q*...*matrix_Q (n times) ?

Thanks!

I don't believe there is a built in command to do that. You'll have to do it manually in a for loop:

Code: Select all


!power = 3
matrix matrix_out = matrix_in
for !i=2 to !power
   matrix_out = matrix_out * matrix_in
next
