How to obtain percentage of correct signs and PT statistic after forecast?

Postby fr4014 » Mon Jan 16, 2023 5:10 pm

The proportion of correct direction change predictions. Additionally, we employ the Pesaran and Timmerman (1992 1994), hereafter PT, test for market timing ability.
Is there any way to obtain the value of these two measures, percentage of correct directions and PT statistics after forecasting?

Thank you

Okay. Is there any way to view forecasted values as a table?

Depends on how you are doing the forecast. But in general EViews will put the forecast values into a series in the workfile
