saving data

Hi
How to save the corr data calculation onto a series or matrix?
Have a loop on the corr but the output is raw without saving the corr onto
a series or matrix
Did read the guide but theres no accessor for corr for directly accessing
the corr output
Tks for ans newbie qns

Re: [Gretl-users] AR-GARCH-t MLE
by Daniel Bencik
Hello guys,
on a last note. I had minor misspecifications in the ll function, so the right one for arma-garch is
<hansl>
mle ll = lngamma((dof + 1)/2) - lngamma(dof/2) - 0.5*log(dof-2) - 0.5*log(h) - 0.5*(dof + 1)*log(1 + (dof - 2)^(-1)*h^(-1)*e^2)
</hansl>
However, Im gettin into a problem (again!). The estimation does not converge. For some simpler specifications ( I mean simpler than ARMA(7,5)-GARCH(1,1)-t ) I was able to help the algo to converge by
setting different parameter starting values. However, with this complicated model, even when I set the initial values equal to "true" values found by eviews, the algo still does not converge. Is there a way of finding out why this happens and/or tweaking the optimization algo?
Thank you,
Daniel

Re: [Gretl-users] VECM Estimation

Hello Allin,
>For us to make sense of this you'd have to show us your data, for d_AllOpen in particular.
Thank you, it got resolved. d_AllOpen was, by some event I cannot explain, full of missing values in one .gdt file while in others, it was correctly calculated. Preceding the script by d_AllOpen = AllOpen - AllOpen(-1) did the trick.

Re: [Gretl-users] AR-GARCH-t MLE
by Daniel Bencik
Hello,
thank you all for your responses.
@Sven: I already encountered trying to log() a negative number in a different model, but when that happens, the error message is "Warning: log domain blahblah". Besides, this error of mine was happenning before any estimation attempts, so I knew this was not the problem.
@Allin, @Riccardo: Thank you for directing me to gig, I never knew gretl had addons:) I modified the code to use lngamma() instead of log(gammafun()) and lo and behold, everything runs. So is it somehow possible, that log(gammafun(x)) cannot take x of type series while lngamma(x) can eat series? Because that is what it looks like to me. I didn't change the starting values or anything else, just switched log(gammafun(..)) to lngamma(). The resulting code is thus
<hansl>
scalar c = 0.1
scalar a1 = 0.1
# GARCH - h[t] = cg + ga*h[t-1] + arc*e^2[t-1]
scalar cg = 0.1
scalar ga = 0.1
scalar arc = 0.1
scalar dof = 4
mle ll = lngamma((dof + 1)/2) - lngamma(dof/2) - 0.5*log(dof-2) - log(h) - 0.5*(dof + 1)*log(1 + (dof - 2)^(-1)*h^(-2)*e^2)
series e = 0
series e = allRng - c - a1*allRng(-1) #AR1 process
series h = var(allRng)
series h = cg + ga*h(-1) + arc*(e(-1))^2 # GARCH(1,1)
params c a1 cg ga arc dof
end mle
</hansl>
If for any purposes somebody needs my data, I will be glad to upload them and share the link. Thanks again.
All the best,
Daniel.

Hi,
I am looking for a Hamilton markov switching program in Gretl. Do you have such a script in gretl. Thanks.

VECM Estimation
by Daniel Bencik
Hello Allin,
one more little thing. When I try to estimate
vecm 7 1 AllHigh AllLow --quiet
everything goes fine even on small samples of, say, 100 observations.
However, when I try to add one exogenous variables, like
vecm 7 1 AllHigh AllLow; d_AllOpen
it only works on the full sample of 999 observations. When I restrict the sample to 746 observations, I get an "Insufficient degrees of freedom for regression" dialog. Is there a way to get around this? I would like to obtain OOS forecasts from an augmented VECM model.
Thank you,
Daniel.

AR-GARCH-t MLE
by Daniel Bencik
Hello Allin,
I humbly ask you for help with hopefully the last problem.
I would like to estimate an AR(1)-GARCH(1,1) model with T-distributed normalized residuals. I take the loglik function from http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/jeffrey.russell/teaching/finecon/readings... p15 and transform everything into code.
# allRng[t] = c + a1*allRng[t-1] + e[t]
scalar c = 0.1
scalar a1 = 0.1
# e[t] = h[t] * Student[t]
# GARCH - h[t] = cg + ga*h[t-1] + arc*e^2[t-1]
scalar cg = 0.1
scalar ga = 0.1
scalar arc = 0.1
scalar dof = 4
mle ll = log(gammafun((dof + 1)/2)) - log(gammafun(dof/2)) - 0.5*log(dof-2) - log(h) # - 0.5*(dof + 1)*log(1 + (dof - 2)^(-1)*h^(-2)*e^2)
series e = 0
series e = allRng - c - a1*allRng(-1) #AR1 process
series h = var(allRng)
series h = cg + ga*h(-1) + arc*(e(-1))^2 # GARCH(1,1)
params c a1 cg ga arc dof
end mle
You may have noticed a comment mark on the "mle ll=" line. This is where the error happens. I receive an error message telling me "The variable ll is of type scalar". The error disappears when I move the comment mark in front of the log(h) element. I looked into other MLE estimates of garch using gretl on the web, some of my own MLE estimates using gretl and I just cant figure out what the problem is here.
Thank you in advance,
Daniel
