EViews 6 Student Version
EViews 6 Student Version PDF brochure
EViews 6 Student Version is an inexpensive version of EViews 6 that is
targeted for instructional use in the areas of econometric analysis,
forecasting, and statistics.
Selecting a software package for your econometrics or forecasting class
can be a daunting task - get it right and you have a tool that empowers
students to learn through hands-on experience; get it wrong and both
you and your students must struggle to make the software fit your needs.
For over 25 years, QMS has provided the very best in econometric
analysis and forecasting software. Our flagship product, EViews,
features an innovative graphical object-oriented user-interface and a
powerful analysis engine, blending the best of modern software
technology with the features you've always wanted. The result is a
state-of-the art program that offers unprecedented power within a
flexible, easy-to-use interface.
There are many reasons that EViews 6 Student Version is the right
choice for classroom instruction. When making your choice of
instructional software, consider the following:
- Does your current instructional software force
students to spend valuable time learning complicated and arcane
commands or struggling with a complex interface?
Designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use, EViews 6 Student Version allows you to
employ a wide
range of statistical and graphical techniques, without having to learn
complicated
command syntax or navigate through layers and layers of menus. You'll
soon find that
EViews allows students to concentrate on the substance of the
coursework instead of the complexities of the software.
- Are you tired of "student" versions of programs
which place severe restrictions on the size of datasets that may be
used, or on the features of the program?
EViews 6 Student Version
allows students to analyze datasets whose size is limited only by
available computer memory. Instead of imposing hard limits on the size
of datasets, the Student Version places "soft" capacity restrictions on
the amount of data (1,500 observations per series, 15,000 total
observations, 60 objects) that may be saved or exported. Students may,
without restriction, work with larger amounts of data, but workfiles
that exceed the soft limits may not be saved nor the data exported.
In addition, the Student Version is virtually identical to the full version of EViews 6 for interactive use.1 Among the features students may use via EViews' easy-to-use context sensitive menus and dialogs are:
- basic descriptive statistics and ANOVA, tabulation,
cross-tabulation, covariance and correlation analysis, principal
components, factor analysis, empirical distribution function tests),
time series plots, distribution graphs (histograms, distribution plots,
kernel density plots).
- autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation
analysis, independence testing, Granger causality tests, unit root and
panel unit root tests, Johansen cointegration tests, panel
cointegration tests.
- linear and nonlinear least squares, weighted least
squares, stepwise regression, White and Newey-West standard errors,
linear quantile regression and LAD estimation, linear and nonlinear
2SLS/IV and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation.
- inear models with autoregressive moving average,
seasonal autoregressive, and seasonal moving average errors. Nonlinear
models with AR and SAR specifications. All specifications are estimated
using Box-Jenkins backcasting or conditional least squares.
- Wald and likelihood ratio tests for coefficient
restrictions and omitted or redundant variables; correlogram,
Q-statistic, and normality tests for residuals; serial correlation LM
and Durbin-Watson, various heteroskedasticity tests (including
Breusch-Pagan and ARCH), Chow breakpoint and forecast tests,
Quandt-Andrews unknown breakpoint tests, Ramsey RESET, and (for linear
models only) recursive estimation tests.
- advanced single equation estimators include GARCH,
Probit/Logit, count models, ordered Logit/Probit, panel linear and
nonlinear least squares/2SLS/IV/GMM including dynamic panel data
specifications, user-specified maximum likelihood.
- specialized forecasting tools for single equation
estimators feature in- or out-of-sample dynamic forecasting and
in-sample forecast evaluation.
- system estimation includes linear and nonlinear
estimation by least squares, 2SLS/IV, generalized least squares (GLS),
Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR/3SLS), Full Information Maximum
Likelihood (FIML), and GMM, Vector Autoregression and Error Correction
(VAR/VEC), Kalman filtering and state space estimation.
- Are you currently using another software package? Are
you concerned about the effort required to move your data from the
current format to EViews?
Not to worry. EViews’ powerful data import features allow you to use
your existing datasets. Simply drag-and-drop your existing Microsoft®
Excel, Microsoft® Access, Stata®, SPSS, SAS® Portable, Rats, TSPTM, or
PcGive ProfessionalTM files (among others) onto EViews and the file
will automatically be converted into the EViews workfile format.
The EViews 6 Student Version2
package includes a 16-page Student Version getting started booklet, and
a CD-ROM containing the Student Version program, the HTML-based help
system, PDF copies of the full three-volume set of manuals for EViews
6, and PDF files containing the first three chapters of EViews
Illustrated, a primer to the EViews program, written by Richard Startz,
professor of Economics at the University of Washington. The three
sample chapters of EViews Illustrated
offer a step-by-step guide to the EViews program, walking you through
the basics of EViews from launching the program, to importing existing
data, to the basics of regression estimation.

*Note: The Student Version places “soft” capacity restrictions on the
amount of data (1,500 observations per series, 15,000 total
observations, 60 objects) that may be saved or exported. Students may,
without restriction, work with larger amounts of data, but workfiles
that exceed the soft limits may not be saved nor the data exported.
Ordering
EViews 6 Student Version may be obtained by students
directly from TStat. The EViews 6 Student Version is also available
bundled with the following textbook:
Book Bundles
The earlier EViews 4.1 Student Version is available bundled with the
following textbooks (book bundles featuring EViews 6 Student Version
should become available in the near future).
For further information or to order these texts, please contact the publisher or other book retailer.
1. The Student Version is restricted to interactive use since
programming capabilities and batch mode processing are not supported.
Notable excluded features are X11, X12, and Tramo/Seats X-11 seasonal
adjustment, solving model objects with more than 10 equations, storing
EViews objects to databases, database auto-search, and redirection of
print output to text or RTF files.
2.The EViews 6 Student
Version license restricts use to a single machine by a single user. The
user must be a currently enrolled student or currently employed faculty
member. Note specifically that the restriction of the license to a
single user implies that the Student Version is not licensed for use on
public access computers. The continued use of the Student Version
beyond a 14-day grace period requires product activation/registration.
Product activation takes seconds to perform using our automatic
registration feature (for internet connected computers). Registration
may also be performed manually after obtaining a registration key via
web browser or by contacting QMS by telephone. In addition, the Student
Version License will expire two (2) years after first use, and the
Student Version will no longer run two years after the first activation.
