Hi Dear Eviews users,
I have a problem in eviews7 for variance ratio test. Because it always sends me this error: Illegal specification for the user-specified number of periods(must be a uniqe set of integer values greater than 1)
What should I do?
It would be grateful if you could help me.
Thanks in advance.

You should specify a unique set of integer values greater than 1 for the number of periods.

my number of periods are for example 2 4 8 16 or 2 5 10 30
they are integer values greater than 1, but why eviews7 sends this error?
