Part II. Basic Data Analysis

The following chapters describe the EViews objects that you will use to perform basic data analysis.

•Chapter 11, “Series”, beginning on page 309 describes the series object. Series are the basic unit of numeric data in EViews and are the basis for most univariate analysis. This chapter documents the basic data analysis and display features associated with series.

•Chapter 12, “Groups”, on page 363 documents the views and procedures for the group object. Groups are collections of series (and like objects) which form the basis for a variety of multivariate graphical display and data analyses.

•Chapter 13, “Statistical Graphs from Series and Groups”, on page 391 provides detailed documentation for exploratory data analysis using distribution graphs, kernel density, and scatterplot fit graphs.

•Chapter 14, “Graphs, Tables, and Text Objects”, beginning on page 415 describes the creation and customization of tables and graph objects.
