DM-test : saving the asymptotic variance

Postby KarinL » Sun Jun 12, 2011 10:12 am

Hello. I'm using Eviews7.

I want to calculate the Diebold Mariano test to evaluate forecasting performances.

To calculate the test statistic, I need an estimate of the asymptotic variance of the loss differential series. I though I could just use the .lvar from my series object.
However, I didn't figure out how to save it to a scalar or similar so that I can do further calculations with it.

Any help would be very much appreciated!
