EViews

EViews is a statistical package for

Windows, used mainly for time-series
oriented econometric analysis. It is
developed by Quantitative Micro Software
(QMS), now a part of IHS. Version 1.0 was
released in March 1994, and replaced
MicroTSP.[1] The TSP software and
programming language had been originally
developed by Robert Hall in 1965. The
current version of EViews is 11, released in

Features
EViews can be used for general statistical
analysis and econometric analyses, such
as cross-section and panel data analysis
and time series estimation and
forecasting.

EViews combines spreadsheet and

relational database technology with the
traditional tasks found in statistical
software, and uses a Windows GUI. This is
combined with a programming language
which displays limited object orientation.

The Enterprise edition of EViews allows

access to 3rd party time series data from
multiple providers including:[2] Thomson
Reuters Datastream, Moody's
Economy.com, Macrobond Financial,[3]
Haver Analytics,[4] and CEIC.
Data formats
EViews relies heavily on a proprietary and
undocumented file format for data
storage. However, for input and output it
supports numerous formats, including
databank format, Excel formats,
PSPP/SPSS, DAP/SAS, Stata, RATS, and
TSP. EViews can access ODBC databases.
EViews file formats can be partially
opened by gretl.

Stationarity of data
EViews can help researchers detect unit
roots in their data series. Multiple unit root
tests are available in the research
software including Dickey–Fuller and
Phillips–Perron.
