Every copy of RATS ships with more than 200 prewritten procedures that significantly extend the capabilities of the program. You'll find procedures implementing dozens of hypothesis tests, various estimation techniques, and much more. RATS also ships with hundreds of example programs, including worked examples from the RATS manuals as well as collections of example programs from more than a dozen popular econometrics textbooks and more than sixty important papers.
The various PDF files included with RATS describe the procedures and examples provided with the software.
All of those procedures and examples (and more) are also available here on our website. The tools here on the website can be helpful in locating procedures or examples of particular interest. You can then either download copies from the website, or refer to the copies installed along with your RATS software.
The files are grouped into two major categories here on the website:
