Peter Sephton:
"It appears GRETL doesn’t do the search for the optimal lag length
over a common period."
Sven:
"If this is true, then I think it's a problem."
Allin:
"Right now I'm trying to determine if Peter's suspicion on that
point is well-founded or not."
Answer: Not. We ensure a uniform sample, basing it on the maximum
lag length. In git I've enabled a numerical parameter to the
--verbose option for "adf", such that if its value is greater than 1
we print the auxiliary regressions at each lag order, which makes
this clear. Example:
<hansl>
nulldata 120
setobs 12 1990:01 --time-series
series y = normal()
adf 8 y --c --gls --test-down=AIC --verbose=2
</hansl>
