EViews offers academic researchers, corporations, government agencies, and students access to powerful statistical, forecasting, and modeling tools through an innovative, easy-to-use object-oriented interface.

EViews 9 Enterprise Edition is an enhanced version of EViews 8.1. The Enterprise Edition contains all of the features of EViews 9, plus support for ODBC and the proprietary data formats of several commercial data and database vendors.

Specifically, the Enterprise Edition allows direct access to ODBC databases or queries and provides transparent connection to Global Insight's DRIPro and DRIBase databanks, Haver Analytics DLX, FAME format databases, EcoWin databases, Datastream, FactSet, Moody's Economy.com, Macrobond Financial, CEIC. The familiar, easy-to-use EViews database interface has been extended to these data formats so that you may work with foreign databases as easily as native EViews databases.

Enhancements in EViews 9.5:

MIDAS Estimation & Forecasting

Mixed Data Sampling is a method for estimating and forecasting models, the dependent variable is recorded at a lower frequency, as one or more of the independent variables (Mixed-frequency estamination). MIDAS enables estimates without aggregation and gives more accurate results. The EViews Workfiles allow easy organization of mixed frequency data and facilitates easy conversion from one frequency to another.

4 different MIDAS weighting schemes:

- Step weights

- Almon/PDL weights

- Exponential Almon weights

- Beta weights

and: EViews automatic lag selection

FIML Estimation & Forecasting with Variance Restrictions

FIML estimator now has the ability to specify the form of the residual covariance matrix, which are given in estimates. This allows more efficient estimates.

Diebold-Marioano Test

Extension of the forecast comparison diagnostic tools. The Diebold-Mariano test allows comparison of two predictions from the same data set.

New Model Specifications

- Model Print View

A simple list of your model's scenarios (and their settings).

- Model Scenario Descriptions

Add descriptions to your model scenarios, and then export those descriptions to the solution series.

- Equation Find

The Equation View of a model has a new Find button that lets you find an equation by name, by endogenous variable name or by exogenous variable name.

- Model Protection

You can password protect your model so that users can only solve the model but not make changes to the model structure.

Group Members View

Graphical drag and drop user interface that displays the member series in the group and allows the user to alter these group members.

Group Object Preview

Allows users to preview a group object by displaying the group members along with a graph of group members.

Saving/Retrieving Program Variables
