Hi,

Is there any restriction on the maximum number of variables that I can consider while running an Unrestricted MIDAS or Almon lag model? Currently I have 210 independent variables, I have interpolated them as well. so there are no missing entries. However, I still get "Insufficient number of observations error. I've data from 2012 q2 to 2017q1. Kindly help.

Does that mean you have 20 observations and 210 variables?

Keep in mind that it is heavily recommended to have only one mixed frequency variable...
