'CALCUTLATING FORECAST ERROR, ITS VARIANCE, and generating RANDOM DRAWS

ON THE LAST LINE OF THIS CODE I KEEP GETTING A SYNTAX ERROR. I cannot figure out why. Please advice.

Re: GENERATING RANDOM NORMAL DRAWS
Without the rest of the code and/or workfile impossible to say. But you probably need to have had defined num_draws

Re: GENERATING RANDOM NORMAL DRAWS
Quick follow up... EViews' @rnorm function is parameterless since it returns draws from the standard normal distribution. You can adjust your genr statement accordingly, e.g.,
Code: Select all
series draws_errorvariance_CA_{%h}Y_{%c}_AR = @rnorm * @sqrt(errorvariance_CA_{%h}Y_{%c}_AR)

Thank you for the responses.
The problem with @rnorm syntax does not allow multiple random draws, e.g 1000
@rmvnorm works well for a VAR model. I can generate 1000 random draws.
matrix draw_var_{%c}=@rmvnorm(covs_{%c}, 1000) 'random draws from the normal distribution
How can I draw these 1000 draws using a simple AR model? I have tried @rnorm and @nrnd
Re: GENERATING RANDOM NORMAL DRAWS
Greetings,
Problem solved. After the @rnorm code you suggested, I simply created a new page with 1000 random observations, then wala!
Again thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
