HEGY*

Postby NicolasR » Mon Oct 26, 2015 6:21 pm

This thread is about the HEGY add-in which performs seasonal unit root tests. The add-in works with biannual, quarterly or monthly data. The add-in contains the option to obtain the critical value by Monte Carlo, time of the simulations depend mostly on the number of observations but in general they are not time consuming. Additionally, the add-in has the option to obtain the tabulated critical values by:

Philip Hans Franses and Bart Hobijn. Critical values for unit root tests in seasonal time series. Journal of Applied Statistics, 24(1):25_48, 1997.
Svend Hylleberg, Robert F Engle, Clive WJ Granger, and Byung Sam Yoo. Seasonal integration and cointegration. Journal of econometrics, 44(1):215_238, 1990.

Attached you can find the add-in documentation and the data examples. Comments and suggestions of the add-in are welcomed.

Regards, Nicolas Ronderos Pulido

This is a wonderfully useful addin. If you have considered writing an add-in for the Canova Hansen test (possibly based on the R package ndiffs), please feel free to send me a PM, as it's something I'd be keen to collaborate on.

Best wishes!

Charlie

hi,
very useful Add-in :D you did a great work 8) , i have some suggestions:
1- could you add Critical values t-stat 1% & 2.5% & 10%, the test do it just with 5%;
2- can extend this Add-in to do the F-stat for all various frequency, Philip Hans & al " Critical values for unit root tests in seasonal time series" Journal of Applied Statistics, 24(1) pp 31-36, 1997;
3-add the Non-seasonal and all seasonal unit roots test critical value when it may sometimes be required monthly time series filtered, Philip Hans & al, op. cit., pp 36-39;
4-add Osborn test with critical value Philip Hans & al, op. cit., pp 39-43, and critical value to Seasonal unit roots and structural breaks Philip Hans & al, op. cit., pp 43-46;
5- how can show seasonal regression test with estimation object equation (in the workfile after estimation), I know that the regression test is in the spool object;

i hope that you consider my suggestions, if this Add-in do this all test it would be perfect.

Kind Regards,

NicolasR

Hi ecofin,

Thanks for your suggestions, number 1,2,3 and 5 are straightforward to implement. But for the moment you can obtain the p-value using the Monte Carlo option (for your request number 1) and run the regression with the same specification as showed in the spool (for your request number 5). Do you want the output of the regression to analyze the residuals?

Best regards,

ecofin

Hi NicolasR,
thanks for your reply
1- yes i want the output of the regression to analyse the residuals by the equation object :equation: ; (show the equation object in the workfile and in the spool object with the test), can you help me with this;
2- i have seen that in Gretl software we can estimate Hegy by two additional methodes (constant+ tirigonometric terms & constant+tirigonometric terms+ trend), the package GHegy can do the test by 6 methodes (4 methods include in the Add-in Now), you can look if you can Add this two methods in the Add-in, see the article below and the link of the packeges (General seasonal unit roots tests (HEGY) and P-values http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/gretl/cgi-bi ... /GHegy.zip).

Kind Regards.

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused about the interpretation of HEGY seasonal unit root tests in case of monthly data.

From my personal thought:
- the seasonal unit root with 2 month per cycle corresponds to the frequency of the root pi
- the seasonal unit root with 4 month per cycle corresponds to the frequency of the root pi/2
- the seasonal unit root with 2.4 month per cycle corresponds to the frequency of the root 2pi/3
- the seasonal unit root with 12 month per cycle corresponds to the frequency of the root pi/3 and so on.

Could you let me know whether my thought is correct? Thanks a lot :)

Hi,

You can calculate the frecuency from the equation w=2*pi*f where f is given in cycles per time unit (in the add-in I report the inverse 1/f i.e. in time units per cycle) you want the w frequency. For the frequencys you posted:

- (2 month per cycle) w=2*pi*f w=2*pi*(1/2) w=pi
- (4 month per cycle) w=2*pi*f w=2*pi*(1/4) w=pi/2
- (2.4 month per cycle or five cycles in a year) w=2*pi*f w=2*pi*(1/2.4) w=5*pi/6
- (12 month per cycle) w=2*pi*f w=2*pi*(1/12) w=pi/6

Also from the spectral point of view the theoretical spectra of the process Yt=A*Yt-12+Et (which contains all the seasonal unit roots for A=1) is given by 1/(1+A^2-2*A*cos(12*w)) if you plot a graph of that you will see each root at their frequency.

NicolasR

Hello everyone,

Currently I'am working on a research regarding time series with seasonal unit roots and I need some time series with these porperty. I wonder if you know any time series with these features, independently of its frequency. Thanks.

Regards,
