EViews 4 Information

 


As a service to our customers, QMS posts current shipping versions of key files for all of our software, as well as assorted data files. You may update your copy of EViews 4.0 to the latest shipping version by downloading and running the EViews 4.0 update executable. 

Note that the update installer will only work if you have a previously installed copy of EViews 4.0 on your system.

10-19-2001

Improve handing of math errors when opening workfiles containing groups with expressions. In some circumstances, EViews would generate an error and fail when attempting to open a workfile with large numbers of these errors.

^Top

10-16-2001

A bug in the t-distribution was introduced in the 10-11 EViews update. If you downloaded this update or your copy of EViews is dated 10-11, please be sure to update to a newer version. We apologize for the inconvenience.

^Top

08-29-2001 

Fix labeling of axes when performing scatterplots with fit. The labels were removing relevant lag information. Also fix bug in sample processing for the scatterplot fits.

^Top

07-26-2001 

Enables the "Propagate NAs" frequency conversion option for Haver Databases. This update is only relevant for Enterprise Edition versions of EViews.

^Top

06-08-2001

Fix minor problem with the dialog for selecting VAR structural factorizations. Some fixes involving empty group objects.

^Top

06-06-2001

Fix incompatibility with some foreign language enabled versions of Windows. This fix has been tested with the Hebrew enabled version of Windows 9x/Me and should solve similar problems observed when using the Arabic version of Windows.

^Top

06-05-2001 

Corrected posting for fix as described below for 5-31-2001.

^Top

05-31-2001 

Fix problems in display of the Actual/Fitted/Residual graph in the presence of noncontiguous samples. Fix problem with processing sample if statements in random effects pool estimation.

05-10-2001 

Improve text labeling of estimation methods when estimating systems.

^Top

05-08-2001

Improve use of pre-sample information when performing in-sample forecasting and model simulation with ARMA errors. This improvement means that in some circumstances forecasts can be made for earlier periods since the initialization (run-in) period has been shortened.

^Top

05-03-2001

Enable font selection for legends in scatterplots. Additional improvements in the code which should improve stability when printing group views.

^Top

05-02-2001

Add additional error checking for samples used in model stochastic simulation.

^Top

05-01-2001 

Fix crash in stochastic model simulation that occurred when using certain samples to compute the residual covariance. Fix system estimation dialog so that it correctly reads the option for BHHH estimation.

^Top

04-16-2001 

Minor fix to improve handling of multiple untitled workfiles when performing a workfile extraction (subsetting).

^Top

04-13-2001 

Improve ARCH estimator robustness in regions where the process is nearly explosive and where the log-likelihood is unstable. 

^Top

04-03-2001 

Fix problem where, when estimated via the dialog, system estimation always used the global default settings.

^Top

03-30-2001

Improve the algorithm for displaying log scaling in graphs. Other minor improvements to the graphics engine.

^Top

03-23-2001

Add features to registration system. Fix problem that can sometimes occur when setting up samples with missing values in Pool estimation. While this problem did not affect estimation results, for complicated sample structures,  it could lead to minor errors in the residual covariance matrix view.

^Top

03-07-2001 

Fix interpreter problem when using the store command with the "::" syntax to specify the database name. Fix problem that sometimes occurred when you copy-and-paste text containing specifications into the least squares dialog. The existence of extraneous linefeeds in the copied text could cause problems with correctly interpreting the specification, leading to misleading results. Improve labeling of daily data in graph displays for years beyond 2000.

^Top

03-02-2001

The default setting for GMM estimation from the program line was changed to HAC to match the documentation. Improve ARCH estimation output when estimated using an expression for the mean equation, and when displaying estimation settings. Fix problem with the rndseed command not always correctly setting the random number seed.

^Top

02-27-2001

Two fixes for incorrect error messages: one occurring while checking data for scaling using Historical X11, and one sometimes occurring when assigning the result of a square-root to a scalar or matrix object.

^Top

02-23-2001 

Enable merging of graphs using the MERGE proc. Also add the ability for users to set a default text font to be used when adding to a graph.

^Top

02-17-2001 

Improve options handling for systems. Enable iteration control for single equation GMM.

^Top

02-16-2001

Improve copy and paste of groups between workfiles with better handling of auto-series, and retention of dated data table options. Fix to handling of the directory paths for X12 automatic model selection file. The dialog options for the GMM kernel type were reversed.

^Top

02-12-2001

There is a syntax issue associated with how Windows handles double- clicking on files (with spaces in the full path) that created some incompatibilities with previous EViews syntax. As a result, double-clicking conflicted with the method of launching EViews from a command window while automatically running a program file. To launch EViews from a command window, enclose the name of the executable in double quotes (if necessary), and enclose the name of the program name in double quotes (if necessary), followed by any arguments.

Reduce memory use in pool spreadsheet view for pools with large numbers of cross-section units.

^Top

02-08-2001

Fix tracking of unnamed groups when performing principal components analysis.

^Top

02-07-2001

Fix the default dialog settings in the File I/O dialogs.

^Top

01-31-2001 

The build date on the last update of EViews did not properly reflect the new version so that it appeared to be dated 01-26. Improve handling of named samples in dialogs.

^Top

01-29-2001 

Fixes a bug introduced on 01-25-2001 in which closing all previously opened workiles could lead to instability in the program when performing program, database or workfile operations with no open workfiles. We strongly recommend that all users who have a copy of EViews built on 01-25 or 01-26 upgrade their copy as soon as convenient.

^Top

01-26-2001

Fix bug in command line option processing for exponential smoothing. Improve handling of blank lines in RTF copy-and-paste. Provide better handling of multiple untitled workfiles and placement of dates in graphs.

^Top

01-18-2001

Fix of out-of-sample initializations in forecasting and fit commands, and out-of-sample static ARCH forecasts. Add ability to initialize excluded variables in model using aliased series. Provide additional copy-and-paste and file saving options for metafiles.

^Top

01-12-2001

Fix problem with output from serial correlation LM test. The test statistic was reported correctly, but the auxiliary regression output had misplaced coefficient labels.

^Top

01-09-2001 

Fix problem with dialog for equation forecasting. The dialog incorrectly stripped out whitespace from the sample statement. As a result, the forecast procedure generated incorrect error messages.
