486—Appendix B. Command Reference

Options

Examples

ss1.statefinal(c)

displays a view containing the final state covariances (the one-step ahead covariances for the first out-of-(estimation) sample period.

See Chapter 25, “State Space Models and the Kalman Filter”, on page 751 of the User’s Guide for a discussion of state space models.

See also stateinit (p. 486).

Display initial state values.

Show the state initial values or the state covariance initial values used to initialize the Kalman Filter. By default, EViews shows the state values.

Syntax

Examples

ss1.stateinit

displays a view containing the initial state values (the one-step ahead predictions for the first period).

stats—487

See also statefinal (p. 485).

Descriptive statistics.

Computes and displays a table of means, medians, maximum and minimum values, standard deviations, and other descriptive statistics of one or more series or a group of series. Alternately, displays summary statistics for the definitions of a valmap.

When used as a command, stats creates an untitled group containing all of the specified series, and opens a statistics view of the group. By default, if more than one series is given, the statistics are calculated for the common sample.

When used for coef or matrix objects, stats computes the statistics for each column of data.

Syntax

Examples

stats height weight age

opens an untitled group window displaying the histogram and descriptive statistics for the common sample of the three series.

group group1 wage hrs edu

group1.stats(i)

displays the descriptive statistics view of GROUP1 for the individual samples.

map1.stats

displays the summary descriptive view of the definitions in the valmap MAP1.

statusline Command

Send text to the status line.

Displays a message in the status line at the bottom of the EViews main window. The message may include text, control variables, and string variables.

Syntax

Command: statusline message_string

Examples

statusline Iteration Number: !t

Displays the message “Iteration Number: !t” in the status line replacing “!t” with the current value of the control variable in the program.

Cross-references

See Chapter 6, “EViews Programming”, on page 83 for a discussion and examples of programs, control variables and string variables.

Convert a series or group to a vector or matrix.

Fills a vector or matrix with the data from a series or group.

Syntax

Series Proc: stom(series_name, vector[, sample])

Group Proc: stom(group_name, matrix[, sample])

Include the series or group name in parentheses followed by a comma and the vector or matrix name. By default, the series values in the current workfile sample are used to fill the vector or matrix; you may optionally provide an alternative sample.

There are two important features of stom that you should keep in mind:
