Tsp Econometrics Software

GAUSS Time Series and Panel data tests Econometric package for Time Series and Panel Data Methods covering unit root, co-integration & causality tests. Extensive coverage of testing in the presence of structural breaks.

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. . TSP/GiveWin™ by TSP International (founded in 1982 by Bronwyn H. Hall) is an econometric software package, with convenient input of commands and data, all the standard estimation methods (including non-linear), forecasting, and a flexible language for programming your own estimators. The philosophy behind TSP is that of a command.

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.[1] The company behind the program is TSP International which was founded in 1978 by Bronwyn H. Hall,[2] 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.[3] One version is TSP, still developed by TSP International. The other version, initially named MicroTSP,[4] is now named EViews, developed by Quantitative Micro Software.

  • OxMetrics 7.21 upgrade can be downloaded for macOS.

    The upgrade for macOS fixes two problems specific to macOS High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14):

    1. cannot start modelling client (OxModel.app), OxPack.app or OxRun.app from inside OxMetrics;
    2. graphics fonts are wrong.
    Because Tsp Econometrics SoftwareOxMetrics 7 on macOS has a 32-bit user interface, Mojave is the final version on which it can run. The first time you run a 32-bit app, a warning pops up, which can be safely dismissed.

    OxMetrics 8 is 64-bit, so unaffected.

  • We are pleased to announce that OxMetrics 8 started shipping over the summer. This is an important update with a range of new features. Read what is new. Also see the 2018 newsletter.

  • The latest macOS update is causing some problems with OxMetrics 7. After installing High Sierra 10.13.5, you'll get a message when running OxMetrics:

    Just click on OK.

    Unfortunately, some internal macOS change also prevents starting OxModel/OxPack/OxRun from inside OxMetrics 7. The work around is simple (thanks to Mehmet Balcilar): you can use PcGive/G@RCH/STAMP in the model formulation dialog by starting Applications/OxMetrics7/bin/OxModel.app separately from Finder. Similarly for OxRun and OxPack, which can be found in the Applications/OxMetrics7/ox/bin folder.

    The changes in macOS impact 32-bit applications. OxMetrics 8 is 64-bit, so unaffected.

  • Under certain circumstances OxEdit or OxMetrics can crash at start-up under OS X Mavericks 10.9. In our experience this has only happened when a system update led to an automatic reboot while OxEdit or OxMetrics was running.

    The first message may be (assuming user jurgen and program OxMetrics) `deleted stale lock .../Users/jurgen/.OxMetrics7_server-jurgen'. This happens when a previous session of OxMetrics did not terminate properly (force close for reboot, crash), and is nothing to worry about. The second message `Failed to open client' is serious: it means that a client-server connection could not be established.

    The following solved the problem:

    • in your home folder, delete any .OxMetrics7_server* files (these will be hidden, but you can use 'ls -l -a' in a terminal window to see them). This file should not be present unless OxMetrics 7 is running.
    Now start OxMetrics.

    Removing the preferences was not necessary. OxMetrics preferences can be removed as follows: In the Finder menu, use Go/Go to folder, and enter ~/Library (to see this hidden folder), then go to the Preferences sub folder, and delete

    • OxMetrics7_OxMetrics Preferences
    • com.oxmetrics.OxMetrics.plist

    (Mar 14, 2014; updated Apr 30) We noted problems with OxEdit and OxMetrics using recent linux distributions. One problem (causing a segmentation fault in longjmp_chk upon opening the program), had to do with incompatibility between versions of libpng (a system using libpng16 would lead to the crash). There was also some problem with libc version incompatibility.

    A new version of Ox Console for linux is nor available to download. Please contact Timberlake to obtain access to an updated version of Ox Professional or OxMetrics.

  • The Linux, OS X and Windows versions of EconometricsOx 7 Console are now available to download.
