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.
