Databank Format
{{confusing, date=March 2009 A file format is a procedure to encode information for storage in a computer file. The databank format is an ASCII file format for time series econometric analysis. The format was popularized by MicroTSP. The databank format is used for data of a fixed annual sample frequency (annual, quarterly, monthly) and for undated data. It is supported by TSP, EViews, and many other econometric Econometrics is the application of statistical methods to economic data in order to give empirical content to economic relationships. M.

TSP (econometrics Software)
TSP is a programming language for the estimation and simulation of econometric models. TSP stands for "Time Series Processor", although it is also commonly used with cross section and panel data. The program was initially developed by Robert Hall during his graduate studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960s. The company behind the program is TSP International which was founded in 1978 by Bronwyn H. Hall, Robert Hall's wife. After their divorce in April 1983, the asset of TSP was split into two versions, and subsequently the two versions have diverged in terms of interface and types of subroutines included. One version is TSP, still developed by TSP International. The other version, initially named MicroTSP, is now named EViews, developed by Quantitative Micro Software.

Unit Root Test
In statistics, a unit root test tests whether a time series variable is non-stationary and possesses a unit root. The null hypothesis is generally defined as the presence of a unit root and the alternative hypothesis is either stationarity, trend stationarity or explosive root depending on the test used. General approach In general, the approach to unit root testing implicitly assumes that the time series to be tested _t^T can be written as, :y_t = D_t + z_t + \varepsilon_t where, * D_t is the deterministic component (trend, seasonal component, etc.) * z_t is the stochastic component. * \varepsilon_t is the stationary error process. The task of the test is to determine whether the stochastic component contains a unit root or is stationary. Main tests Other popular tests include: * augmented Dickey–Fuller test *: this is valid in large samples. * Phillips–Perron test In statistics, the Phillips–Perron test (named after Peter C. B. Phillips and Pierre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
RATS (statistical Package)
RATS, an abbreviation of Regression Analysis of Time Series, is a statistical package for time series analysis and econometrics. RATS is developed and sold by Estima, Inc., located in Evanston, IL. History The forerunner of RATS was a FORTRAN program called SPECTRE, written by economist Christopher A. Sims. SPECTRE was designed to overcome some limitations of existing software that affected Sims' research in the 1970s, by providing spectral analysis and also the ability to run long unrestricted distributed lags. The program was then expanded by Tom Doan, then of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, who added ARIMA and VAR capabilities and went on to found the consulting firm that owns and distributes RATS software. In its early incarnations, RATS was designed primarily for time series analysis, but as it evolved, it acquired other capabilities. With the advent of personal computers in 1984, RATS went from being a specialty mainframe program to an econometrics package sold ...

ODBC
In computing, Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing database management systems (DBMS). The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of database systems and operating systems. An application written using ODBC can be ported to other platforms, both on the client and server side, with few changes to the data access code. ODBC accomplishes DBMS independence by using an ''ODBC driver'' as a translation layer between the application and the DBMS. The application uses ODBC functions through an ''ODBC driver manager'' with which it is linked, and the driver passes the query to the DBMS. An ODBC driver can be thought of as analogous to a printer driver or other driver, providing a standard set of functions for the application to use, and implementing DBMS-specific functionality. An application that can use ODBC is referred to as "ODBC-compliant". Any ODBC-compliant application can access any DBMS for which a driver i ...

Dickey–Fuller Test
In statistics, the Dickey–Fuller test tests the null hypothesis that a unit root is present in an autoregressive time series model. The alternative hypothesis is different depending on which version of the test is used, but is usually stationarity or trend-stationarity. The test is named after the statisticians David Dickey and Wayne Fuller, who developed it in 1979. Explanation A simple AR(1) model is : y_=\rho y_+u_\, where y_ is the variable of interest, t is the time index, \rho is a coefficient, and u_ is the error term (assumed to be white noise). A unit root is present if \rho = 1. The model would be non-stationary in this case. The regression model can be written as : \Delta y_=(\rho-1)y_+u_=\delta y_+ u_\, where \Delta is the first difference operator and \delta \equiv \rho - 1. This model can be estimated and testing for a unit root is equivalent to testing \delta = 0. Since the test is done over the residual term rather than raw data, it is not possible t ...

DAP (software)
Dap is a statistics and graphics program based on the C programming language that performs data management, analysis, and C-style graphical visualization tasks without requiring complex syntax. Its name is an acronym for Data Analysis and Presentation. Dap was written to be a free replacement for SAS, but users are assumed to have a basic familiarity with the C programming language in order to permit greater flexibility. It has been designed to be used on large data sets and is primarily used in statistical consulting practices. However, even with its clear benefits, Dap hasn't been updated since 2014 and hasn't seen widespread use when compared to other statistical analysis programs. Features Dap is a command line driven program. Below are various features that DAP can perform. DAP can compute means and percentiles, correlation, & ANOVA from data sets. This includes Unbalanced as well as Crossed, Nested ANOVA. It can also be used to create scatterplots, line graphs and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
