EViews Student Version Limitations
Ordering
EViews 6 Student Version is an inexpensive version of EViews 6 targeted for instructional use in the areas of econometric analysis, forecasting, and statistics.There are many reasons that EViews 6 Student Version is the right choice for classroom instruction. To aid you in making this important decision, we ask you to 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 will 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.
- linear 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.
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.
| Capacity | EViews 6 Student Version |
| Maximum observations per series | 4 million (by default), may be increased if desired, subject to memory restrictions (saving and exporting are only available for dataset with fewer than 1,500 observations per series*) |
| Total observations: (series x obs per series) | limited only by available RAM (saving and exporting are only available for dataset with fewer than 15,000 total observations*) |
| Maximum objects per workfile | limited only by available RAM (saving and exporting are only available for workfile with fewer than 60 objects*) |
| Maximum objects per database | Cannot save/store data into database, but can fetch/read from one |
*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.
EViews 6 Student Version may be obtained by students directly from Timberlake Consultants Ltd. We will need proof of your student status. The price is £35 + p&p + taxes (when applicable)
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, storing EViews objects to databases, database auto-search, and redirection of print output to text or RTF files. - back
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. - back
