Forecasting within the Econometric Sector

EViews offers academic researchers, corporations, government agencies, and students access to powerful statistical, forecasting, and modeling tools through an innovative, easy-to-use object-oriented interface.

Its combination of power and ease-of-use make EViews the ideal package for anyone who works with time series, cross-section, or longitudinal data. With EViews, you can quickly and efficiently manage your data, perform econometric and statistical analysis, generate forecasts or model simulations, and produce high quality graphs and tables for publication or inclusion in other applications - just with mouse-clicks no complicated command language is needed!

 

Difference between EViews Standard and Enterprise Edition

EViews comes in two different editions: Standard and Enterprise. The Enterprise edition contains all the features of the Standard edition, but has some additional benefits:

  • Database Connections
    Whether you want to connect to a third party vendor, use ODBC to connect to a relational database, or use EViews’ Database Extension Interface (“EDX”) or EViews’ Database Object (“EDO”) Library to connect to your propriety data sources, EViews Enterprise is the tool for you!
     
  • Third Party Vendors
    With EViews Enterprise and an account with your data provider, you can seamlessly search, query, and retrieve data from third-party data sources such as Bloomberg databases, IHS databases, FactSet databases and many more.
     

EViews - Graphics

EViews supports a wide range of graph types including line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, scatter diagrams, mixed line-bar graphs, high-low graphs, and scatterplots. A variety of options give you control over line types, color, border characteristics, headings, shading and scaling, including logarithmic scaling and dual scale graphs. Legends are automatically created and you can add labels in any scalable Windows fonts anywhere on your graph. Any number of graphs can be combined in a single graph for presentation. Customizing a graph is as simple as dragging graphic elements around the screen. Want to change the characteristics of a legend or a text label? Just click on it and your options are immediately presented in easy to understand dialogs. You can easily incorporate your customized graphs into other Windows applications using copy-and-paste, or by exporting Windows metafiles.

Dockable Command and Capture Windows
The EViews command and capture windows are dockable, floatable, and hideable. Dockable and hideable windows allow you to move frequently used windows out of the way while keeping them close at hand.

Multi-Graph Slideshow
EViews makes viewing multi-graphs easier via the introduction of a graph slideshow, giving you a much better overview When working with multiple graphs in a single graph frame.

Multi-Graph Slideshow Zoom-In-Function
The zoom-in function enables you to view more details of individual graphs within your slideshow. You can also page through the individual graphs.

EViews user interface now provides dockable elements and a capture window for even an even better overview With the Multi-Graph slideshow working with multiple graphs in a single graph frame is easy and suitable! The zoom-in function within the slideshow enables you to view the more detailed data of your graphs

<

Mixed Graph Types
EViews offers an entirely new interface for mixing graph types, allowing greater flexibility in choosing combinations of graph types to show on the same graph.

Forecasting
Now you can produce forecasts directly from an estimated VAR object by updating the Forecast dialog box. This now eliminates the need to first make an EViews model object from the VAR and then solve the model.

Dickey-Fuller Test
EViews now supports the computation of modified Dickey-Fuller tests which allow for levels and trends that differ across a single break date.

Mixed Graph Types gives you flexibility while working mith combinations of graph types in a single graph. Now EViews enables the production of forecasts directly out of VAR objects The Dickey-Fuller Test in EViews

Bubble Plots
Bubble plots are extensions of scatter plots, where a third dimension may be used to specify the size of the data points. Unlike traditional scatter plots, where bubble sizes are fixed, bubble plots allow for variable size bubbles.

Graph Template
EViews introduces a new default graph template. Some of the new design elements of this template include a different aspect ratio, white background, grid lines, and thicker lines in line graphs.

Table Sorting
In EViews you may easily sort the rows of a table using values in one or more columns. To sort, you must be in table edit mode.

  • ARMA equation diagnostics: graphs or tables of the inverse roots of the AR and/or MA characteristic polynomial, compare the theoretical (estimated) autocorrelation pattern with the actual correlation pattern for the structural residuals, display the ARMA impulse response to an innovation shock and the ARMA frequency spectrum.
  • Easily save results (coefficients, coefficient covariance matrices, residuals, gradients, etc.) to EViews objects for further analysis.

See also Estimation and Systems of Equations for additional specialized testing procedures.

Forecasting and Simulation

  • In- or out-of-sample static or dynamic forecasting from estimated equation objects with calculation of the standard error of the forecast.
  • Forecast graphs and in-sample forecast evaluation: RMSE, MAE, MAPE, Theil Inequality Coefficient and proportions
  • State-of-the-art model building tools for multiple equation forecasting and multivariate simulation.
  • Model equations may be entered in text or as links for automatic updating on re-estimation.
  • Display dependency structure or endogenous and exogenous variables of your equations.
  • Gauss-Seidel, Broyden and Newton model solvers for non-stochastic and stochastic simulation. Non-stochastic forward solution solve for model consistent expectations. Stochasitc simulation can use bootstrapped residuals.
  • Solve control problems so that endogenous variable achieves a user-specified target.
  • Sophisticated equation normalization, add factor and override support.
  • Manage and compare multiple solution scenarios involving various sets of assumptions.
  • Built-in model views and procedures display simulation results in graphical or tabular form.

Graphs and Tables

  • Line, dot plot, area, bar, spike, seasonal, pie, xy-line, scatterplots, bubbleplots, boxplots, error bar, high-low-open-close, and area band.
  • Powerful, easy-to-use categorical and summary graphs.
  • Auto-updating graphs which update as underlying data change.
  • Observation info and value display when you hover the cursor over a point in the graph.
  • Histograms, average shifted historgrams, frequency polyons, edge frequency polygons, boxplots, kernel density, fitted theoretical distributions, boxplots, CDF, survivor, quantile, quantile-quantile.
  • Scatterplots with any combination parametric and nonparametric kernel (Nadaraya-Watson, local linear, local polynomial) and nearest neighbor (LOWESS) regression lines, or confidence ellipses.
  • Interactive point-and-click or command-based customization.
  • Extensive customization of graph background, frame, legends, axes, scaling, lines, symbols, text, shading, fading, with improved graph template features.
  • Table customization with control over cell font face, size, and color, cell background color and borders, merging, and annotation.
  • Copy-and-paste graphs into other Windows applications, or save graphs as Windows regular or enhanced metafiles, encapsulated PostScript files, bitmaps, GIFs, PNGs or JPGs.
  • Copy-and-paste tables to another application or save to an RTF, HTML, LaTeX, PDF, or text file.
  • Manage graphs and tables together in a spool object that lets you display multiple results and analyses in one object

Commands and Programming

  • Object-oriented command language provides access to menu items.
  • Batch execution of commands in program files.
  • Looping and condition branching, subroutine, and macro processing.
  • String and string vector objects for string processing. Extensive library of string and string list functions.
  • Extensive matrix support: matrix manipulation, multiplication, inversion, Kronecker products, eigenvalue solution, and singular value decomposition.
