Re: [Gretl-users] Simple ARIMA problem

Greetings all...smiles to everybody, too.. I'm a total novice at Gretl so please bear with me when I ask this question... Can Gretl simulate the (1,1,1) model discussed below ? Probably does this very well but just asking. What algorithm does the proggie use to generate the random numbers utilised in the theta term ? Suppose (2,1,2) was discussed what's Gretl's procedure to generate the random number terms. And at waht stage does the proggie do the differencing Just asking..that's all Interesting stuff. Thanks for reading so far..

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: 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.
