Dear gretl users,
I would like to obtain simulated data by bootstrapping the residuals of a
VAR model. I have gave a look to the gretl guide, and I found something
related to resampling and bootstrapping (section 7.4), actually, I would
like to adapt the following example - 7.1 in the guide - (with ols) to the
VAR framework:
ols y 0 x
genr ui = $uhat
scalar ybar = mean(y)
scalar replics = 2000
scalar tcount = 0
series ysim = 0
loop replics
ysim = ybar + resample(ui)
ols ysim 0 x
scalar tsim = abs($ coeff (x) / $stderr(x))
tcount +=(tsim > 2.5)
endloop
I have started to write a code.. but my "first" problem is how to save the
matrix of residuals and then generate the new dataset. The next one I
guess will be how to store 2000 Irfs! But let's go step by step..
Would someone have any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
