Thanks for your answer.

I want the same program, the automatic ARMA selection, but the program posted in this forum consider a regression with constant.
Here:

Code: Select all


equation {%eqname}.ls dlog({%dep}) {%regs} {%lagstring} {%mastring}

Where:

Code: Select all


 {%regs}

is the constant.
So I want a regression without this parameter

Code: Select all

{%regs}

I thought if I stablished a conditional I could resolve this problem, because I need to avoid a regression without parameters.
The first conditional considers the case without ARMA terms. So the regression is with constant:

Code: Select all


if %arstring="ar(0)" and  %mastring="ma(0)" then
      equation {%eqname}.ls(arma=cls, optmethod=legacy) {%dep} {%regs}
endif

The second conditional considers the case with ARMA terms without constant:

Code: Select all


if %arstring="ar(1)" or %arstring="ar(2)" or  %arstring="ar(3)" or  %arstring="ar(4)" or %mastring="ma(1)" or %mastring="ma(2)" or %mastring="ma(3)" or %mastring="ma(4)"  then
       equation {%eqname}.ls(arma=cls, optmethod=legacy) {%dep} {%arstring}{%mastring}
endif

But this conditionals doesn't work.

Hi,
I have not programmed much in E-views, so not an export. I am trying to obtain absolute values of residuals from an AR(1) model for time series data of more than one macroeconomic variable and country in one go. Attached a test file for just one variable. How can I create a loop to store the abs value for each of the macro variables for each country? Any prompt help is much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sohel
