490—Appendix B. Command Reference

Examples

series lwage=log(wage)

stomna(lwage,vec1)

converts the series LWAGE into a vector named VEC1 using the current workfile sample. Any NAs in LWAGE will be placed in VEC1.

group rhs x1 x2 x3

sample s1 1951 1990

stom(rhs,x,s1)

converts a group of three series RHS to a matrix named X using sample S1. The matrix X will always have 40 rows and 3 columns.

Store objects in databases and databank files.

Stores one or more objects in the current workfile in EViews databases or individual databank files on disk. The objects are stored under the name that appears in the workfile.

When used as a pool proc, EViews will first expand the list of series using the pool operator, and then perform the operation.

Syntax

Follow the store command keyword with a list of object names (each separated by a space) that you wish to store. The default is to store the objects in the default database.

(This behavior is a change from EViews 2 and earlier where the default was to store objects in individual databank files).

You may precede the object name with a database name and the double colon “::” to indicate a specific database. You can also specify the database name as an option in parentheses, in which case all objects without an explicit database name will be stored in the specified database.

store(i) m1 c:\data\unemp

stores M1 and UNEMP in individual databank files.

Display summary of sspace specification.

Show view which summarizes the system transition matrices or the covariance structure of the state space specification. EViews can display either the formulae (default) or the values of the system transition matrices or covariance.

Syntax

If you choose to display the values for a time-varying system using the “v” option, you should use the optional [argument] to specify a single date at which to evaluate the matrices. If none is provided, EViews will use the first date in the current sample.

Options

vDisplay the values of the system transition or covariance matrices.

Examples

ss1.structure

displays a system transition matrices.
