In the current git version and snapshots, we have a new diagnostic plot,
which IMHO is rather nice: after estimating an arima model, you get a
comparison of the sample periodogram vs the spectrum implied by the model
estimates. For example, try this:
<script>
clear
open fedstl.bin
data houstnsa
series y = 100*sdiff(ln(houstnsa))
arma 2 2 ; y --window
</hansl>
In the "Graphs" menu of the model window you should now have a new item,
called "Spectrum vs sample periodogram", that should (hopefully) produce a
nice plot comparing the two.
Please test. Comments, as usual, welcome.
