State Space/Kalman Filter & Freezing/Outputting to .RTF

Postby MT_MANC » Wed Mar 25, 2009 3:49 am

A few syntax issues on outputting to .RTF which I cant crack; any help appreciated:

1. I want to print out the text specification of my state space model (ss1_nw) to the output file
but cant seem to get syntax correct !!

Code: Select all

   smpl 1988Q2 2008Q4
   '   estimates the sspace object by maximum likelihood.
   ss1_nw.ml(showopts)
   FREEZE(temp) ss1_nw.spec
   show temp

..This just outputs the SS estimation results TWICE to the output .RTF rather than giving me
the estimation results followed by original model text specification
NB When clicking on "temp" via GUI it appears as original model text specification - it just doesnt
seem to output to RTF in the correct form.

2. I also want to print out the text specification of my Kalman Filter generated by applying
"Makefilter" PRG command the state space object (ss1_nw) above.


Code: Select all

   ss1_nw.makefilter ss1_nw_filter
   freeze (filtertemp) ss1_nw.makefilter.spec
   show filtertemp

..gives me error "State space estiamtes are not valid in "SHOW TEMP""

3. Merging graphs - any reason why commented line below is giving a error ?


Code: Select all

@smpl all
   for %x GVAni_nw PMIi_nw CBIi_nw CNOi_nw  CMLMORTi_nw PHOUSEi_nw NETXGni_nw URi_nw ETi_nw COCmi_nw COCsi_nw
   {%x}.x12(mode=m,save="d10 d11 d12")
   graph graphM_{%x}.line {%x} {%x}_sa
   graphM_{%x}.addtext(t) X12 SEAS ADJUSTMENT - MULTIPLICATIVE
   show graphM_{%x}
   ' graph graphsALL.merge graphM_{%x}      ' MERGE ERRORS !!
   next

The first two are a bug, which we'll get fixed....

As for 3), I don't think you can merge a single graph. You'll need to have two graphs.
