So know we know, by the empirical method, that running a double loop over p and q (with a max of p=2, q=2) in arma estimation is not in itself a sufficient cause of a crash on Windows XP. The forensic method in software development often proceeds by seeking the minimal program that provokes a crash. So now we need to look a little further. Does it make a difference if the loops start at p=0, q=0, rather than p=1, q=1 as in my script (all else unchanged)? Thanks very much for helping to debug this issue. >> [C]ould I ask you just to confirm Yes or No, whether the script >> that I posted crashes on XP?
