Dear Gretl Mailing List Users,
My apologise to email you at this time of year. First of all, I wish that you will have a
Merry Christmas which will come in less than 48 hours. I am honestly very grateful to join
this mailing list, it is always very supportive.
Once I wrote an email in GRETL mailing list to ask help on how to code for the Maximum
Likelihood Estimation to estimate the ACD model on GRETL and I have the great help from
Prof. Lucchetti in this issue.
Now, I am begging for assistance again. It is still about the ACD model, but my
specification is:
EP_DUR(t) = x0 + x1 P_DUR(t-1) + x2 EP_TIME(t-1) + x3 SPREAD (t-1)
where:
EPTIME is the expected duration
PTIME is the actual duration (i got the value of this series)
EPTIME is the expected duration at lag1
SPREAD is the spread at lag1; spread is difference between bid and ask (i got the value of
this series)
I intend to apply Weilbull WACD (1,1) and Exponential EACD (1,1) to obtain the estimation
of X0, x1, x2 and x3.
May question is where should I add the variable (SPREAD) in this model. I attached the
previous GRETL program that Prof. Lucchetti wrote for me last time and my simple data in
gdt. I am really sorry to disturb you all during this festive break. Many sincere thanks
for any help and attention....
Kind regards,
Josephine
