Residual

I made an Eviews workfile, at the beginning, "resid" value were marked as NA. After one estimation, the values of resid were listed. But with the same data, in the same workfile, made another estimation, values of resid were changed. please help me with those questions:
1. If i have two equations in the workfile, will resid values be results of which equation/estimation? (as in my example, of the last-done equation)?
2. I delete the last-done equation, but the resid values were reamained unchanged?
3. Now i have only one equation, but the resid value from this equation (as before) are different with the current ones in the workfile?
4. If i want to update the resid value for the equation done before, how can i do it?
Many thanks.

resid is just an ordinary EViews series that gets filled up each time you do an estimate. So it will be the residuals from the last estimate run. If you want to re-use the residuals save them in a new series such as

Code: Select all

series residsaved = resid
You can also go back to an equation and save its residuals through Proc/make residual series.

Thank you. That is perfect!
