EViews
EViews is desktop software for statistical, time-series, forecasting and modeling work, presented through an object-oriented interface. It provides data management, econometric and statistical analysis, forecasts, simulations, graphs and tables, with support for regression models, statistical tests, scripting and Bayesian analysis. Import formats include Excel, Access, R, SAS Transport, SPSS, Stata, Tableau, ASCII text and binary, HTML and ODBC. EViews 14 adds JDemetra+ seasonal adjustment, Facebook Prophet, quantile ARDL estimation and outlier detection. Its listed integrations include COM automation, MATLAB, R, Python and a Microsoft Excel add-in; downloadable add-ins, user objects and libraries can extend it. EViews runs on Windows and macOS, but the 30-day EViews 14 demo is limited to physical Windows computers and is unavailable for Mac. Student Version Lite is free, but cannot save workfiles or export data to other formats and needs internet access at least once every 10 days to launch. Listed licenses include academic and commercial single-user options.
