EviewsR: An R Package for Dynamic and Reproducible Research Using EViews, R, R Markdown and Quarto
Sagiru Mati, İrfan Civcir, Sani Isah Abba · The R Journal · 2023
EViews is a software designed for conducting econometric data analysis. There exists a one-way communication between EViews and R, as the former can run the code of the latter, but the reverse is not the case. We describe [EviewsR](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=EviewsR), an R package which allows users of R, R Markdown and Quarto to execute EViews code. In essence, [EviewsR](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=EviewsR) does not only provide functions for base R, but also adds EViews to the existing [knitr](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=knitr)'s knit-engines. We also show how EViews equation, graph, series, and table objects can be imported and customised dynamically and reproducibly in R, R Markdown and Quarto document. Therefore, [EviewsR](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=EviewsR) seeks to improve the accuracy, transparency and reproducibility of research conducted with EViews and R.
