EViews Student Edition

EViews 4.1 Student Version provides students with access to the innovative object-oriented user interface of EViews 4.1. Students can use EViews' wide range of statistical and graphical techniques without having to learn complicated command syntax or navigate through layers and layers of menus. For example, students can switch easily between a display of their equation specification, basic estimation results, the coefficient covariance matrix, actual-fitted-residual graphs and tables, forecast graphs and evaluations, and extensive diagnostic and hypothesis tests.

While it does contain some capacity and feature limitations, EViews 4.1 Student Version provides most of the capabilities of our Standard Version.
