Re: Standard errors in the state space

Running the model I get a Failure to Improve the likelihood with gradients that are decidedly far from zero. I wouldn't view this estimate as having converged. There are a lot of coefficients 15+2 variance parameters with only 208 observations. Perhaps other starting values might help, but it would...

Re: Standard errors in the state space

Thanks Trubador, much appreciated, but I still get the same problem with that coding error corrected.

The standard error is constant, and very small.

Standard errors in the state space

Hi, I am having trouble getting error bands for a NAIRU estimated using the kalman smoother in the Eviews State Space. My code and data is attached below: pc bc nairu.prg Data: USNAIRU_Data.xls As you can see the output basically says the NAIRU is estimated with a very small constant error which can...

Bootstrap in the state space object

Hi all, Has anybody had experience with bootstrapping coefficient estimates and standard errors in the Eviews state space object? I am particualrly interested in bootstrapped standard errors for the time-varying NAIRU in a kalman filtered Phillips curve model. If anyone has code, or there are any ad...
