Hello,

I want to use the Theil inequality statistic on a vector (which has a different dimension to the sample size). It seems to say in the manual that any of the descriptive statistics should be available for matrix objects, but when I try it, Eviews says it's illegal, as @theil is reserved for series objects. I've clearly misunderstood something here.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nikhil

Not all functions will work on vectors as well as series. You can always use the @mtos function to convert the vector into a series, then use @theil on it, though.
