[R] Testing of Diagnostic residuals in R

2013-07-12 Thread ntamjo achille


Hi there,

 I want to ask a question about any function in r that helps test residuals of  
the vector error correction model. I find it on Pfaff(2008) but he tests only 
residual for VAR(vector autoregressive model).

I need to workout Portmanteau test, Normality test and Heteroskedasticty for 
the VECM. Anyway, Pfaff proposes a diagnostic test for the function vec2var. 
But it ends up to test VAR residuals. Is anybody can tell me if it is possible 
to use that function to analyse the diagnostic of vecm residuals?

Thank you

Vec2var codes:
vecm.level <- vec2var(vecm1, r = 2)

vecm.norm <- normality(vecm.level)

vecm.arch <- arch(vecm.level)
vecm.serial <- serial(vecm.level)

Diagnostic for VAR
var2c.serial <- serial(VAR)
> var2c.arch <- arch(VAR)
> var2c.norm <- normality(VAR)


I want something like
vecmfemales<-ca.jo(b,type="trace",spec="transitory")

vecm.r2<-serial.test(vecmfemales)
vecm.norm <- normality(vecm.r2) but i receive this message


Error in serial.test(vecmfemale) : 
Please provide an object of class 'varest', generated by 'var()', or an object 
of class 'vec2var' generated by 'vec2var()'.
By reading this message, i can conclude that there is only 2 ways to make 
residuals in R: VAR and vec2var?




Thank you for your answer

[R] Lee carter model

2013-07-01 Thread ntamjo achille
Hi everybody,

I'm running codes for for a Lee carter modeling. I compute the demogdata 
function in the package demography. 
Age is a class of factor

Base<-demogdata(data=x,pop=y,ages=AGE,years=YEAR,type="mortality",label="City",name="Hommes",lambda=1)
 
Now, I try to run codes for lee carter model, and i always get the following 
message:
Error in Summary.factor(c(1L, 2L, 24L, 35L, 46L, 57L, 68L, 79L, 90L, 101L,  : 
  max not meaningful for factors

Please can you help to understand what means this message. 

Many Thanks

Achille
