hi,
i am a newly user of eviews and just discovering the programme. i am asking about an error message .When i am trying to view a correlogram of a serie by clicking view/correlogram and keying the "lags to include" box 39 (which is 1/4 count of my sample). Then it errors as "near singular matrix". Cant view correlogram and wondering why..

Thanks and regards...

That is very odd indeed. You might want to take a look at your series and be sure it isn't full of NAs.

here i attached the file. i checked the data but couldn't find any problem. maybe you can find and tell to me. thanks a lot.

Works fine for me.

You might want to ensure that your copy of EViews 6 is up to date.

when i type "3" or less to the "lags to include" box or choose 1st or 2nd differences with higher lags it shows the correlogram . But cant see correlogram in level with 39 lags or any number except for higher than 3...
any other advice please?
