The OxMetricstm system presents an interactive menu-driven graphics-oriented system for econometric, statistic, and financial analysis. The core OxMetrics program acts as the `front-end' to a series of integrated software modules, including PcGive. These modules obtain their data from OxMetrics and return output and graphics to it.

PcGive 12

PcGive 12 was released in October 2007. The most important innovation is the addition of Autometricstm for automatic econometric model selection, including facilities for automatic detection of outliers and breaks, as well as more variables than observations. Autometrics replaces PcGets 1, which was only available for GiveWin 2.

Autometrics is an integral part of PcGive, and can be activated in the Model Settings dialog. Read about Autometrics in the latest OxMetrics Newsletter (PDF, 1.7Mb).

Overview

PcGive Professionaltm aims to give an operational and structured approach to econometric modelling using the most sophisticated yet user-friendly software. The accompanying books transcend the old ideas of `textbooks' and `computer manuals' by linking the learning of econometric methods and concepts to the outcomes achieved when they are applied.

The econometric techniques of the PcGive system can be divided by the type of data to which they are (usually) applied. The documentation is comprised of three volumes, and the overview below gives in parenthesis whether the method is described in Volume I, II or III. Volume IV refers to the PcNaive book.

PcGive uses OxMetrics for data input and graphical and text output. OxMetrics has its own help system. Even though PcGive is largely written in Ox Professional, it does not require Ox to function.
