The MAXDATA handbook gives a detailed introduction to the time series database system MAXDATA. This software product offers both specialists and inexperi- enced or occasional users a simple and convenient way to handle voluminous numerical databases on a personal computer. MAXDATA meets very...

This booklet was begun as an appendix to Introductory Econometrics. As it progressed, requirements of consistency and completeness of coverage seemed to make it inordinately long to serve merely as an appendix, and thus it appears as a work in its own right. Its purpose is not to give rigorous...
