What is TSP (by TSP International)
TSPTM is a complete language for the estimation and simulation of econometric models. Although TSP was originally and continues to be developed primarily by economists, there is nothing in its design limiting it to economic times series. Any data consisting of repeated observations of the same variable for different units may be analysed with TSP.TSP stands for "Time Series Processor", although the program is also frequently used for cross section and panel data.
