The following texts will be used in this course:

Requirements

The primary emphasis of this course will be on how to use multivariate statistical methods -- how to look at and assemble data matrices; how to construct and estimate multivariate statistical models. Students will be required to learn Epsilon (EMACS), a screen editor, and two statistical packages -- EVIEWS and STATA.

Grades will be determined by two take home examinations and by regularly assigned class problems.

Below are links to my Prob-Stat II (required MBA course) web pages from AY1997-98 at Carnegie-Mellon University. These should be helpful for you to learn your way around EVIEWS.
