Dear R - helpers, I am using the urca package to estimate cointegration relations, and I would be really grateful if somebody could help me with this questions: After estimating the unrestriced VAR with "ca.jo" I would like to impose the rank restriction (for example rank = 1) and then obtain the restricted estimate of PI to be utilized to estimate the VECM model. Is it possible? It

Hello! I'm using the blrtest() function in the urca package to test cointegration relationships. Unfortunately, the hypothesis (restrictions on beta) specifies the same restriction on all cointegration vectors. Is there any possibility to specify different restrictions on the cointegration vectors? Are there any other packages in R using cointegration tests? Thanks and best regards. Dennis

I can't figure out how to get the "summary" method in the URCA package to work. E.g. when I use the following code fragment in the help for the "ca.jo" function, it always tries to use the "summary" method from the "base" package, not the "urca" package. How do I force it use the "summary" method of the "urca" package?

Dear all, I have a question. How to get the standard errors of alpha and beta when using "ca.jo" to test cointergration? In the paper by Bernhard Pfaff and Kronberg im Taunus “VAR, SVAR and SVEC Models: Implementation Within R Package” pp.24-25. The standard errors are listed on the table 5 following the code: R> vecm.r1 <- cajorls(vecm, r = 1) I tried this in my Mac R, but

Dear All, My question is: how can I estimate VECM system with "unrestricted trend" (aka "case 5") option as a deterministic term? As far as I know, ca.jo in urca package allows for "restricted trend" only [vecm <- ca.jo(data, type = "trace"/"eigen", ecdet = "trend", K = n, spec = "transitory"/"longrun")].

Good day, I'm using a VAR model to forecast sales with some extra variables (google trends data). I have divided my dataset into a trainingset (weekly sales + vars in 2006 and 2007) and a holdout set (2008). It is unclear to me how I should predict the out-of-sample data, because using the predict() function in the vars package seems to estimate my google trends vars as well. However, I want

Hi all, I am working on exporting "Johansen test statistics" (Johansen test: "ca.jo" in package "urca")to Excel. The problem is that the function output is not a number, but like this: ##################################################### # Johansen-Procedure Unit Root / Cointegration Test # ##################################################### The value of the

Hello, I want to know if there are some functions or packages to solve differential and integral equation using R. Thanks. Shao chunxuan. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Colleague I am trying to figure out how to use R to do OLS restricted VECM regression. However, there are some notation I cannot understand. Please tell me what is 'ect', 'sd' and 'LRM.dl1 in the following practice: #OLS retricted VECM regression data(denmark) sjd <- denmark[, c("LRM", "LRY", "IBO", "IDE")] sjd.vecm<-

Hi, I am brand new to R and not familiar with the language, though I have been reading the manuals and making some slow going progress. I am working with some source code from a Global Vector Auto -Regressive program written by Ranier Puhr from the R-forge group. I need help interpreting the processes of the following code. I am going to post in parts since it's pretty long: GVAR

Dear all, S+Finmetrics has a number of very specilised functions. I am particularly interested in the estimation of cointegrated VARs (chapter 12 of Zivot and Wang). In this context the functions coint() and VECM() stand out. I looked at package "dse1", but found no comparable functionality. Are there any other packages you could point me to? In general, are there efforts for

Hello to everyone! I am working on my final year project about multivariate time series. There are three variables in the multivariate time series model. I have a few questions: 1. I used acf and pacf plot and find my variables are nonstationary. But in adf.test() and pp.test(), the data are stationary. why? 2.I use VAR to get a model. y is the matrix of data set and I have made a once

I am fitting a reduced form VAR model using VAR in the vars library. I have several endogenous variables, and two exogenous variables. I would like to explore the effects of a shock to one of the exogenous variables on one of the endogenous variables. Using irf in the vars library only calculates the irf for the endogenous variables, this is obviously by design, is there some theoretical

Hi all R users, I'm trying to replicate the same results that are given in a published article after been granted the same data that the authors use. I'm having problems to determine the cointegration rank of my data set using the Johnasen's trace test. This trace test is already programmed in the package ur.ca and can be found in the function ca.jo(). After I run the ca.jo()

Dear members, I estimated a vector error correction model (VECM) using the "ca.jo" function in package "urca". I need to simulate the estimated model using R. I am aware how to simulate a VAR(p) model. Since the VECM is in difference form, I can't modify the VAR simulation codes to VECM. May one help me in this regard please? Thanks Mamush [[alternative HTML version

Hello! I'm doing a svar and when I make the estimation the next error message appears: In SVAR(x, Amat = amat, Bmat = bmat, start = NULL, max.iter = 1000, : The AB-model is just identified. No test possible. Could you help me to interpret it please. Also I have the identification assumption that one of my shocks is exogenous relative to the contemporaneous values of the other variables

Hi, I was wondering why the results from lm and dynlm are not the same for what I think is the same model. I have just modified example 4.2 from the Pfaff book, please see below for the code and results. Can anyone tell my what I am doing wrongly? Many thanks, Werner set.seed(123456) e1 <- rnorm(100) e2 <- rnorm(100) y1 <- ts(cumsum(e1)) y2 <- ts(0.6*y1 + e2) lr.reg <- lm(y2

Dear useRs, With the rise of netbooks and 'lifestyle laptops" I am tempted to get one of these to mainly run R on it. Processor power and hard disk space seem to be ok. What I wonder is the handling and feel with respect to R. Has anyone here installed or is running R on one of these, and if so, what is your experience? Would it be more of a nice looking gadget than a feasable platform
