Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Thank you Gareth. Then I think I will go ahead with the try and error method by fixing the maximum lag length at 4 for the daily data.
Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hello,
I was wondering which spot is right for entering a sample restriction clause. I originally thought this could be toggled from the workfile interface, but even when I restrict the workfile sample range, the ARMA selection program always uses the full range of the data.
Thanks again for your excellent programming resources!

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Code: Select all
smpl @first+!maxAR @last
Change that line.

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hi Gareth,
I ran the code on one of my series. In addition, i tried to confirm results using the Automatic ARIMA selection addin. The results vary. While the Schwarz value against zero lag comes same in both cases, it varies for lag 1,2,3 and 4.
i want to specify that i have one more independent variable other than "c". Also i am setting MA=0 and i am checking upto 4 lags of AR.
Please help me. I would be very thankful.

There are many many reasons they could differ

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hi
I am trying to run an auto ARMA selection code, with a base in the code discussed here. However, I would like to run the code using a for loop that creates equations for each series in a group. I've tried to use a common identifier of "m_*", but still struggling. I've placed the code below, can anyone advise? The idea is it creates and names each equation as dl+the name of the original series.
for !i=1 to batch01.count 'create the group name
%iname= batch01.@seriesname(!i) 'identifiy the individual series in the group
next
%iname = "{dl}_{%iname}" 'name of equation object that will be used.
%maxAR = "4" 'maximum number of AR terms
%maxMA = "4" 'maximum number of MA terms
%dep = "d(log{%iname})" 'dependent variable
%regs = "C " 'independent variables
%criterion = "@AIC" 'which criterion to use enter "@AIC" for Akaike, "@schwarz" for Schwarz, and @HQ for Hannan-Quinn
!maxAR = @val(%maxAR)
!maxMA = @val(%maxMA)
close {%iname}
'create table for storing critical values.
%matname = "crits"
if @isobject(%matname) then
%matname = "__crits"
if @isobject(%matname) then
delete {%matname}
endif
endif
table(!maxar+2,!maxma+2) {%matname}
{%matname}(1,1) = "AR / MA"
{%matname}.setlines(1) +b

!mincrit = 1e12 'set the minimum to an artificially large value to begin
'estimate the models

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
All of the estimation stuff is done outside your loop the loops through the group members. It needs to be done inside the loop

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hi All
I am attempting to run a program that runs an ols equation where the lag length of the independent variables are selected automatically. The idea is to run through each independent variable, select the optimum lags, and then forecast the dependent variable based on this.
The code is a variation of the auto ARMA selection, but I feel I am missing something. Any help here?
Here is the code:

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Dear Gareth or Trubador
I am using Eviews 9, the ARMA method is maximum likelihood and it could not be tested with LM test. Do you know the reason behind this? or how can we change the method in order to use LM test.
Thank you

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hello I'm using eviews 9. And I am currently using Automatic Arima to find the best model for our data series but we had a hard time understanding the rules in AR and MA that's why we dont know if 4 is fixed in both MA and AR or we need to change that and how ? Thank you for your kindly consideration .
Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Hello!
I want to change the program beacuse I need a regression without constant. I stablished a conditional, but it does't work.
I have an error because %eqname is undeterminated or undifined. I think last conditionals isn't correct but I don't know why.

Re: Automatic ARMA selection
Not sure what you're trying to do - but have you tried the built in automatic ARMA forecasting (which also does arma model selection)?
