EViews 6.0 Standard
Data Management
Powerful modeling tools are only useful if you can easily access your data. EViews provides the widest range of data management tools available in any econometric software.
Extensive Function Library
EViews contains an extensive library of functions for working with and transforming your data. In addition to standard mathematical and trigonometric functions, EViews provides functions for computing descriptive statistics, by-group statistics, specialised date and time series data functions, functions for working with a variety of statistical distributions and date and string handling.
Sophisticated Expression Handling
EViews’ powerful tools for expression handling mean that you can use
expressions virtually anywhere you would use a series. You don't have
to create new variables to work with the logarithm of Y, the moving
average of W, or the ratio of X to Y (or any other valid expression).
Instead, you can use the expression in computing descriptive
statistics, as part of an equation or model specification, or in
constructing graphs.
Links, Formulas and Values Maps
Links allow you to create series that link to data contained in other workfiles or workfile pages. Links allow you to combine data at different frequencies, or match merge in data from a summary page into an individual page such that the data is dynamically updated whenever the underlying data change. Similarly, within a workfile, formulas can be assigned to data series so that the data series are automatically recalculated whenever the underlying data is modified.
Data types
EViews can handle complex data structures, including irregular dated data, cross-section data with observation identifiers, and dated and undated panel data. In addition to numerical data, an EViews workfile can also contain alphanumeric (character string) data and series containing dates, which can be further manipulated using an extensive library of functions.
EViews Databases
EViews 5 has built-in database features. An EViews database is a collection of EViews objects maintained in a single file on disk. It need not be loaded into memory in order to access an object inside it, and the objects in the database are not restricted to being of a single frequency or range. EViews databases support powerful query features which can be used to search through the database for a particular series or select a set of series with a common property.
