Hi,
I'm not sure if this is possible in gretl. I want to interpolate a gap
of samples with ARMA by using the value to the left and right of the
gap. If I have data like this:
Time lag: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Values: 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 * * * 0.3 0.2 0.1 0
The values marked with a star are the gap I want to interpolate (at lag
5, 6 and 7: the values should be something like 0.4, 0.5, 0.4 after
interpolation). How would you go about creating a gretl DATASET with
these values? And will the get_forecast function work on "predicting"
the interpolated samples?
I've always used ARMA for out-of-sample forecasts, but never for
interpolation, so I'm not sure if this is possible.
Regards
Chris

This is absolutely possible via an ARMA model. However, my advice would be
to use a state space model and the Kalman filter, which provide a very
flexible, natural and flexible framework for problems of this type.

Thanks Riccardo for the quick reply and your suggestion.
I'm specifically want to use ARMA, because I use it in my thesis and
benchmark it against a bunch of other interpolators I've implemented.
Once I get that working I'll definitely look into your Kalman-filter
suggestion.
Do you maybe know how to add the time-lags to the DATASET? The gretl API
documentation (and the examples in the source code) are not very
informative on this matter. And how do I set t1 and t2 of the DATSET so
that the ARMA model and get_forecast knows where the samples start and
end (since there are now 2 places where the data starts and ends, not
just 1 as with the usual DATASET used to do a simple forecast).
Regards
Chris

Me again,
I've created a test program to illustrate what I'm trying to do.
Currently it doesn't want to do the forecast. Can anyone identify what
I'm doing wrong?
I think the problem is the setting of the start and end observations.
The 3 samples I want to interpolate (4, 5, 6) currently have a value of
0 in the DATASET. This is probably wrong, because the model will be
fitted with those 3 zeros. How can I tell the model to ignore those
values and only use 0 - 3 and 7 - 10? Is get_forecast even the correct
function to use for interpolation?
Regards
Chris
