Where to Find It (Macintosh)

On the Macintosh, the software typically is installed into the Applications folder, in a folder named something like RATS zzzz 11.x where zzzz is the product type (Std, Pro, Trial or Classroom). 11.x is the specific version number installed. Within that, the RATS application itself is called RATSPro or RATS. There will also be a RATSData application.

Everything else should be in folders within /Users/Shared/RATS. Those folders are

•"Documentation" has PDF versions of the three RATS manuals: the Introduction, User's Guide and Reference Manual. Note, however, that the fully up-to-date documentation is provided in the HTML help.

•"Examples" includes our standard examples from the manuals.

•"Papers" includes subfolders with replications of important published papers.

•"Procedures" includes the main procedures distributed with RATS. By default, this is the folder in which RATS will look for procedures.

•"Textbooks" includes subfolders with worked examples from over 30 textbooks.

•"Other Resources" includes subfolders:

•"Programming Manual" has the Enders-Doan "RATS Programming Manual" with examples.

•"Bayesian E-Course" has the RATS Bayesian Econometrics e-course with examples.

•"GARCH E-Course" has the RATS GARCH/Volatility Models e-course with examples.
