uroot help

[charlesG]

I'm trying to run ADF uroot tests on a couple of series, but I can't seem to do it even for one series.
My problem is that EViews (version 7.1) doesn't seem to recognise the options I'm specifying at all.
I've tried a few different syntaxes and all I can get is the options window to pop up, but not even with the options I specified ticked.

Here's what I've tried so far...

copper.uroot(adf,trend,lags=0,dif=0,save=temp)
uroot(adf,trend,lags=0,dif=0,save=temp) copper
uroot copper adf trend lags=0 dif=0 save=temp

these all seem to do the same as just running copper.uroot, uroot copper or uroot() copper.

Can anyone tell me how to get this to work??

Are you running in a program, or from the command line?

[charlesG]

Ah thanks, it works in the program... why does this happen??

[EViews Gareth]

Some commands, by default, will bring up the dialog when used from the command line, even if you fully specify their options.

It seems like with uroot, at least, if you do something like series.uroot(kpss), when it brings up the dialog, the highlighted options should correspond to the options specified (e.g. a kpss test) and not always the default (e.g. ADF, sic selected, max lags=int((12T/100)^1/4)

[EViews Glenn]

It should. uroot was written quite some time ago, before we made that desirable behavior a priority. At some point the uroot code will be updated to reflect this priority, but at the moment I'm afraid that you'll just have to reset the desired items in the dialog.
