Introduction to commands in Eviews

Summary

• Create a workfile. Example: wfcreate(wf=wf1) u 6 (unstructured, 6 observations)
• Create a series with random numbers: series s1 = rnd
• Create a series going from 1 to n: series s1 = @trend
• Line graphs: s1.line or line s1 s2
• Scatter plot: scat s1 s2
• xy line plot: xy s1 s2
• Create a scalar type: scalar c1
• Assigning an element of a series to a scalar: c1 = s1(3) or c1 = @elem(s1,”3”) or c1 = @elem(s1,”2010:1”)
• Operators and functions: Command and Programming references chapter 13
• Show command. Example: show log(s1)
• Special functions: @round, @mean, @sum
• Normal distribution: @dnorm, @cnorm, @qnorm and @rnorm
