Time Series Data Analysis Using Eviews

EViews (Econometric Views) is a statistical package for Windows, used mainly for time-series oriented econometric analysis. Basic time series modelling in EViews, including using lags, taking differences, introducing seasonality and trends, as well as testing for serial correlation, estimating ARIMA models, and using heteroskedastic and autocorrelated consistent standard errors. EViews can be applied for general statistical analysis and econometric analyses, such as cross-section and panel data analysis and time series estimation and forecasting. EViews combines spreadsheet and relational database technology with the traditional tasks found in statistical software, and uses a Windows GUI. This book provides a hands-on practical guide to using the most suitable models for analysis of statistical data sets using EViews - an interactive Windows-based computer software program for sophisticated data analysis, regression, and forecasting - to define and test statistical hypotheses. Rich in examples and with an emphasis on how to develop acceptable statistical models, Time Series Data Analysis Using EViews presents statistical or econometric models for time series data. This book is designed as a reference tool to time series analysis in a very powerful and popular econometric software, EViews. It will also address the modules and structures of EViews that will help readers to fully harness the capabilities of the software.
