[Gretl-users] Simple ARIMA problem

Hi While trying to work with ARIMA(1,1,1) in Gretl I got into problems. The problem is that having set upp the numbers (values, prediction and errors that was produced by Gretl) in spreadsheet and using the parameters that I got I couldnt get the same forecast number as Gretl got. I used just this simple formula to calculate the forecast: [cid:image001.gif@01CB7516.F0E83070] That is why I ask: Is this formula differently in ARIMA(1,1,1) as it is calculated by Gretl and how is that? I also tried to use OLS on a time series y(t) which had been differenced one time (d(1)) and the explanatory variable was y(t-1) and got a different parameters result than using ARIMA(1,1,0) which I shouldn't or what? I would be very thankful for useful replies.
