Abstract: A recent software review in this journal (McCullough, 1999) raises serious questions about EViews' performance on nonlinear least squares problems. We demonstrate that after correcting errors in the paper and adjusting convergence tolerances, EViews performance was comparable with the other benchmarked software.
