I have 300+ equations. Is there a quick way to update them all after I've changed the data that they are calculated off of?

You could write a simple program (in EViews 7 only) that would re-estimate every equation in your workfile. Something along the lines of:

Hi,

What if I want to loop the following?

genr d1_CONFI = d(CONFI)
genr d1_CPI = d(CPI)
genr d1_FPER = d(FPER)
genr d1_GBY = d(GBY)
genr d2_GDP = d(d(GDP))
genr d1_M1 = d(M1)
genr d2_NFP = d(d(NFP))
genr d1_PMI = d(PMI)
genr d1_TED = d(TED)
genr d1_USD = d(USD)

I tried using:

%serieslist=@wlookup("*","series")
for !i=1 to @wcount(%serieslist)
%currentseries=@word(%serieslist,!i)
genr d1_%currentseries = d(%currentseries)
next

But it doesn't work because the quotes remain for @word.
And then I tried:

%currentseries=@stripquotes(@word(%serieslist,!i))

But that doesnt' work as well...
I think I need some function to convert the word to a variable ro something.

Anyway I just want to loop the process above because my list is really long.
Hope you can help!

Thanks Gareth.

I've used your code but I'm having an issue with @abs(ADF(2,!i)) which returns a string.
FYI, ADF is a 4xn matrix and row 1 is the name and rows 2-4 are numbers.
How can I get around this error?


!crival = 4
%serieslist=@wlookup("*","series")
for !i=1 to @wcount(%serieslist)
%currentseries=@word(%serieslist,!i)

if @abs(ADF(2,!i)) < !crival then
genr d1_{%currentseries} = d({%currentseries})
endif

if @abs(ADF(3,!i)) < !crival then
genr d2_{%currentseries} = d(d({%currentseries}))
endif

if @abs(ADF(4,!i)) < !crival then
stop
endif
next

Adf cannot be a matrix if it contains characters. However to convert a string into a number, you can use the @Val function

Hi Gareth,

I have read this post, and I want to update my 20equations after change the data period and data, shall I use the same thing as your 1st reply?

Also any chance eviews can do forecasting with rolling windows?

I am really struggling cos i dnt know any ...

Please see my attached file. if you could help.
Thanks

Yes, you can use the initial post.

You could write a simple program (in EViews 7 only) that would re-estimate every equation in your workfile. Something along the lines of:

Code: Select all

%eqlist=@wlookup("*","equation") 'make a list of all equations in workfile for !i=1 to @wcount(%eqlist) 'cycle through the list one at a time %eq = @word(%eqlist,!i) 'current equation name %estcmd = {%eq}.@command 'current equation's estimation command {%eq}.{%estcmd} 're-estimate current equation with its command next

hi Gareth,

I just 'Run' this in program but it doesnt work...

I read the Help pdf abt programming still dnt ahve any idea tho..

should I put
%eqlist=@wlookup("*","equation") 'make a list of all equations in workfile -
eq01
eq02
eq03
...
eq20?

or should I have eq01 = usdaud c usoil
eq02 = usdcad c usoil?
then it says equation is not defined.....

should I leave ur comment after the " ' " ? cos I think that wont affect the programe.

Please help me with a correct code?

Many thanks!

Just copy the code exactly as it is.

Gareth! It worked! Thanks!

so if I see the code you posted , does that mean I can just copy and paste in a new progame to use it?

I am now trying to do the rolling forecast, I need to include the forecasted result for the nxt forecast, does tht code apply to this as well?

Thanks

You might need to take some time to understand the forecast code.

After update all equation, I need to update forecast for each equation.
any code can upadte the forecast by a single click?

thanks!
