Thanks the advice; t'was very helpful. Now to another dumb
question but
with this time with a twist. I want to compute the correlation (of
change) between two time series of different frequencies, monthly oil
prices and quarterly manufacturing shipments. I would interpret the
recommendation from my old econometrics textbook to turn the monthly
data into quarterly; and then compute the rolling correlation of change.
According to the new age, is there a better way to do this? Is there a
package in GRETL that allows users to examine time series patterns with
data of different frequencies?
Gretl can handle time series of different frequencies. This was just
implemented a while ago. Have a look at the MIDAS manual:
http://gretl.sourceforge.net/midas/midas_gretl.pdf
However, I am pretty sure there is no ready-made package for computing
some rolling statistics though, yet.
