ADF test

Postby cyp74 » Mon May 07, 2012 9:17 pm

Hi, when I run the following line of code with any series, I still get the default setting "sic" for the information criteria. Any ideas? Thanks
seriesname.uroot(adf,trend,info=aic)

If you run that line in a program, you'll see that it does, in fact, use the AIC.

Thanks Gareth, you are right. I was testing it on the command line.

A minority of commands don't behave the same way in the command line and in a program. Can be confusing/frustrating.

We'll make a note of this one and see how hard it is to get the dialog to read the command options.
