Changing the limits of the ARMA estimation

by Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza

I have a multiplicative ARMA model that seems difficult to estimate as is actually not converging. I know that usually it means that the specification of the model is not good, but I think in this case if I augment the limit of iterations it will soon converge. Is there a way of doing that? and, Is there a way of changing the tolerance criterium for ARMA models? -- Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza Dpto. de Economía Aplicada III (Econometría y Estadística) UPV-EHU

translation question

by Sven Schreiber

Hi, in the German translation I have been adding a bunch of menu shortcuts, or more accurately, menu accelerators as I believe they're called. (type alt+letter to access the menu entry which has the corresponding underlined letter) I'm wondering: - Can I break anything if I add accelerators which in the original version don't exist? - Is there a rule for the choice of which items get accelerators? I couldn't infer the pattern from the status quo. Thanks, sven

Kalman filter

by Arnaud Bervas

By chance, would there be anyone having developed a Kalman filtering program with Gretl ? I imagine that such a program might be developed with Gretl and I would be interested in having a look at an example. Thanks

new Windows snapshot

by Allin Cottrell

There's a new snapshot with fixes for some of the issues raised lately (I believe). There may also be new bugs, though: the transition from straight arma to arima is not well tested yet, particularly with regard to ARIMA forecasting. http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl_install.exe -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University, NC

nonliinear least squares

by Arnaud Bervas

I can't execute the following program: ols ld_SGD ld_USD ld_EUR ld_JPY ld_TWD ld_INR ld_KRW ld_IDR ld_AUD ld_THB genr b0 = coeff(ld_USD) genr b1 = coeff(ld_EUR) genr b2 = coeff(ld_JPY) genr b3 = coeff(ld_TWD) genr b4 = coeff(ld_INR) genr b5 = coeff(ld_KRW) genr b6 = coeff(ld_IDR) genr b7 = coeff(ld_AUD) nls ld_SGD= b0*ld_USD + b1*ld_EUR + b2*ld_JPY + b3*ld_TWD + b4*ld_INR + b5*ld_KRW+ b6*ld_IDR + b7*ld_AUD + (1-b0-b1-b2-b3-b4-b5-b6-b7)*ld_THB end nls I attach the corresponding dataset. Can you see what's wrong ? Thank you

silly bug

by Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza

Sorry Allin, I know you are very busy know with the arima code, but I discovered something broken in the OLS graphing code that should be corrected. With for example data3-6.gdt, if I run an OLS regression of Ct vs Yt, and, in the model output window, I select "graphs/fitted, actual plot/against Yt", I obtain the incorrect plot you have in the attachment. This was with gretl for Windows in English (snapshot build 02/17/2006). I tried the same thing with Linux (official 1.5.0 version) and the result was the same with gretl in Spanish, but if I try it with "gretl --english" the graph plotted is correct. -- Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza Dpto. de Economía Aplicada III (Econometría y Estadística) UPV-EHU

limitations of maximum likelihood estimations

by Arnaud Bervas

Thank you Allin and Riccardo. It works perfectly now. I guess I will have to be more careful on the syntax in the future. NB: the problem occured in the script mode (opening the window "new script") Arnaud

limitations of maximum likelihood estimations

by Arnaud Bervas

I have also tried with artificial data, but still doesn't work. I was about to reinstall Gretl to try again, but you will maybe find out what is wrong using the data attached. Thank you for this

limitations of maximum likelihood estimations

by Arnaud Bervas

Thank you. I have actually tried to run the program you suggest, but each time a window opens saying that a problem occured ant that Gretl must be closed. The dataset I use is however quite small (42 observations for each variable, integer nonnegative numbers). The parameters c1, c2 and c3 are real numbers comprised between 0 and 1.
