EViews 5 - blending the best of modern spreadsheet and relational database technology with the traditional tasks of statistical software.
In March of 1994, EViews 1.0 set the standard for what statistical software could be by bringing modern windowing and object-based techniques to econometric software. With the release of EViews 5 the result is a program that provides unprecedented power wrapped in an intuitive easy-to-use user interface.
Whether you use EViews for general statistical analysis, time series estimation and forecasting, cross-section or panel data analysis, large scale model simulation, presentation graphics, or simple data management, EViews 5 provides new features that expand your capabilities.
When working with cross-section data, panel data, irregularly dated financial data, or simple time series data, EViews 5 simplifies the process of managing your data. Need to merge data between multiple sources or want your data to be updated whenever you begin a new EViews session? No problem. New linking and updating technologies allow you to embed within your workfile relationships based on formula, match merges, frequency conversion, and references to external data. And if your work requires more than simple numbers, new alphanumeric and date handling features will cover your needs.
Data import and export have never been easier. If your data are currently in Excel, SPSS, SAS, Stata, Rats, TSP, or over a dozen other popular file formats, simply drag-and drop your file onto EViews and the data will automatically appear. EViews automatically detects the number of rows and columns in your dataset, determines the data type of each column, and even automatically analyses the date structure, frequency and range of the incoming data. EViews 5 also understands HTML, making importing data from web pages a snap. And support for ODBC in the EViews Enterprise Edition makes it easy to exchange data with your company database, including products such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and IBM DB2.
But EViews 5 is not simply about data management. Powerful new statistical techniques have been added to the already impressive EViews toolkit. For time series analysis, new GARCH estimators, band-pass filters, and equation diagnostic tools are now available. Panel data analysis is supported by a new panel workfile structure, with new panel unit root tests, dynamic panel data estimators, and a full compliment of fixed and random effects specifications. New functions for dealing with categorical data, including but not limited to the automatic generation of categorical dummy variables, simplify the process of analysing cross-section and panel data.
