I think this has to do with the fact that it is panel data. To see this, remove the CX=F and WGT=CXSUR options in the Least Squares estimation. It would result in a Sample Range error. I'd assume this is caused by stepping to the next cross-section, at which point the sample will have an end date which is earlier than the start date.

I never worked with panel data regressions, so I have no clue how to solve this. Perhaps someone else does?

Thank you The Yoyo for your help. I hope somebody in the forum can give some advice for this problem soon.

Hi

thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful forum. i am doing a 3-period ahead forecast for my series using arima model. my problem is that the program that i run do not give me the same series as the one i would obtain if i would do the entire exercise manually in eviews. can u help??
my estimation period is 1984:m1 1996m1 and i want to obtain 3 period ahead forecast from 1996:m4 to 2017:m2. my program is as follows

series y=cpii

'run rolling regression

' set window size
!window = 145

' set step size
!step = 1

' get size of workfile
!length = @obsrange

' declare equation for estimation
equation eq2

'calculate number of rolls
!nrolls = @floor((!length-!window)/!step)

'matrix to store coefficient estimates
matrix(3,!nrolls) coefmat ' where 2 is the number of coefficients

'series to store forecast estimates
series fcast

'redundant series for catching start and end points
%start = "@first" '@otod(@ifirst(ser))
%end = "@last" '@otod(@ilast(ser))

'variable keeping track of how many rolls we've done
!j=0

' move sample !step obs at a time
for !i = 1 to !length-!window+1-!step step !step
!j=!j+1

' set sample for estimation period
%first = @otod(@dtoo(%start))
%last = @otod(@dtoo(%start)+!i+!window-2)
smpl {%first} {%last}


' estimate equation - where the equation is y=c(1) + c(2)*x1
eq2.ls(arma=gls, optmethod=gauss-newton) d(y) c ar(1) ma(1)

' store coefficients
colplace(coefmat,eq2.@coef,!j)

' 1-period-ahead forecast
%3pers = @otod(@dtoo(%start)+!i+!window-1) 'start point
%3pere = @otod(@dtoo(%start)+!i+!window+1) 'end point

if @dtoo(%end) < @dtoo(%3pere) then 'check whether the forecast end point is greater than the workfile end point
exitloop
endif

' set smpl for forecasting period
smpl {%3pers} {%3pere}

' forecast with command *forecast* (see also *fit*)
eq2.forecast(f=na) yf

' set sampl to obtain the 4th period observation
smpl {%3pere} {%3pere}

' store forecasts
fcast = yf
next

smpl @all
show coefmat
show fcast.line

d(noerr) yf


where am i going wrong?? can't just figure out

Nothing looks particularly wrong.

Thanks for a quick reply. but then why am i not getting the same values as with manually obtaining the recursive forecasts. if the algorithms are the same then same software should be giving similar values. Or do u suggest that i should do this exercise maually?
i am using eviews 9

Thanks
Deepika

Hard to say. Perhaps you're doing something wrong.

sorry to ask again but could you help me in identifying the problem. i am also attaching my workfile and my program. in the workfile the subworkfile named recursiveestimation is used.

thanks

Having the program and data doesn't help identify what you're doing wrong when you do it manually.

But if I take your equation eq2 and estimate it until 2016m11, then forecast it 3 month (2016m12 2017m2), the compare the forecasted value for 2017m2 with the one generated by the program, they are identical. Which would suggest the program is doing what you want it to.

Shouldnt the eq2 stop estimating at 2016m111` but it stops estimating at 2016m12. i think something is wrong there

Also could you pls tell me how you did it manually so that i can check whether i am doing some mistake while doing it manually

Thanks for all the help

Open the equation. Hit the Estimate button. Change the sample so that the end point is 2016m11.

Then hit the forecast button. Set the forecast to 2016m12 to 2017m2.

The manual procedure that i am following is right according to what you have suggested. But if i see the coefficient matrix i m getting 252nd equation which is not desired as it is doing estimation upto 2016m12 whereas the loop should exit after 251th equation only. am i right??

sorry for troubling but one more question. for a 6-period ahead forecast how will the program change?
will it be
' 6-period-ahead forecast
%6pers = @otod(@dtoo(%start)+!i+!window-1) 'start point
%6pere = @otod(@dtoo(%start)+!i+!window+4) 'end point

if @dtoo(%end) < @dtoo(%6pere) then 'check whether the forecast end point is greater than the workfile end point
exitloop
endif

' set smpl for forecasting period
smpl {%6pers} {%6pere}

' forecast with command *forecast* (see also *fit*)
eq2.forecast(f=na) yf

' set sampl to obtain the 4th period observation
smpl {%6pere} {%6pere}
or something else?

Hi

i am trying to do 3 month ahead forecast using single exponential forecast by writing a program. but somehow it seems to run into errors. can you please help on this

Regards

Hi,
Thank you for this very usefull subject and codes.
Can someone please help me how can I generate the vector of rolling forecasting evaluations for each one of rolling forecasting point?
Thanks
