Timberlake Consultants - EViews Training

Level: Introductory

Course Overview

The classical linear regression model or regression analysis is the most commonly used technique in the field of applied econometrics. This course covers both the theory and practice of regression analysis, however, the emphasis is on practical aspects through real life applications and exercises. The course focus on several issues and challenges frequently encountered when building econometric models. Upon completion of the course, you will have gained valuable skills that will help you build statistically sound models and make efficient use of EViews capabilities.

Topics Include:

Linear vs. non-linear models
Diagnostic testing (heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, parameter stability, etc)
The problem of spurious regression
Dealing with violations of the classical linear regression model assumptions
Other topics in regression analysis: multicollinearity, dummy variables, outliers/influential observations

I have enough data but I do not know where to start from.
My models do not give the results that I expect. Am I missing something?
I want to build more advanced models and capture complex relationships.
My model fails one or more diagnostics. What shall I do? Are my results still valid?
I have built a number of competing models but I do not know which one to choose.
I do not have much faith in econometrics as in the past it failed to give me the answer I expected.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of EViews Basics. Previous experience on data analysis is advantageous.
