pagestruct |
none | Remove the existing workfile structure. |
freq= arg | Specifies a regular frequency; if not provided EViews will auto-determine the frequency. The frequency may be specified as “a” (annual), “s” (semi-annual), “q” (quarterly), “m” (monthly), “w” (weekly), “d” (5-day daily), “7” (7-day daily), or “u” (unstructured/undated). |
start=arg | Start date of the regular frequency structure; if not specified, defaults to “@FIRST”. Legal values for arg are described below. |
end=arg | End date of the regular frequency structure; if not specified, defaults to “@LAST”. Legal values for arg are described below. |
regular, reg | When used with a date ID, this option informs EViews to insert observations (if necessary) to remove gaps in the date series so that it follows the regular frequency calendar. The option has no effect unless a date index is specified. |
create | Allow creation of a new series to serve as an additional ID series when duplicate ID values are found in any group. EViews will use this new series as the observation ID. The default is to prompt in interactive mode and to fail in programs. |
balance=arg, bal=arg | Balance option (for panel data) describing how EViews should handle data that are unbalanced across ID (cross-section) groups. The arg should be formed using a combination of starts (“s”), ends (“e”), and middles (“m”), as in “balance=se” or “balance=m”. If balancing starts (arg contains “s”), EViews will (if necessary) add observations to your workfile so that each cross-section begins at the same observation (the earliest date or observation observed). If balancing ends (arg contains “e”), EViews will add any observations required so that each cross-section ends at the same point (the last date or observation observed). If balancing middles (arg contains “m”) EViews will add observations to ensure that each cross-section has consecutive observations from the earliest date or observation for the cross-section to the last date or observation for the cross-section. Note that “balance=m” is implied by the “regular” option. |
dropna | Specifies that observations which contain missing values (NAs or blank strings) in any ID series (including the date or observation ID) be removed from the workfile. If “dropna” is not specified and NAs are found, EViews will prompt in interactive mode and fail in programs. |
dropbad | Specifies that observations for which any of the date index series contain values that do not represent dates be removed from the workfile. If “dropbad” is not provided and bad dates are present, EViews will prompt in interactive mode and fail in programs. |
