[Gretl-users] multivariate probit

2012-03-07 Thread Boris Demeshev
Dear All, is it possible to estimate multivariate (3 variables in my case) probit model in gretl? I have found "biprobit" but it's only for 2 variables. I have also found bivariate normal cdf... Best, Boris

[Gretl-users] Creating cointegrated series

2012-03-07 Thread Talha Yalta
Hi all, I have a few questions/issues to report with a cointegration example that I am trying to simulate using: nulldata 500 setobs 1 1950 --time-series series u1 = randgen(N,0,1) series u2 = randgen(N,0,1) series Z1 = 0 series Z1 = Z1(-1) + u1 series Z2 = 75 + 0.75*Z1 + u2 1)- When I run a VEC

[Gretl-users] Simple variable generation question

Hi, I have car data that I imported from excel. The first column of the excel worksheet has a car designation label: econ or prestige. The first 40 observations are econ cars and the next 40 are prestige cars. In Gretl, the designation appears as a row label. I'd like to subset the data to

Thanks. This will work for my current problem. But what if I have a very large data set and the econ observations are scattered throughout the data set? This won't work. Walt On 3/7/2012 3:54 PM, Allin Cottrell wrote: > On Wed, 7 Mar 2012, Data Analytics Corp. wrote: > >> I have car data tha

[Gretl-users] Excess kurtosis

2012-03-07 Thread Peter Tozer
Dear All, This may seem a simple question, but is the excess kurtosis value calculated by GRETL in the summary statistics command, the excess above the value 3, which is the kurtosis value of a normal curve, i.e. if I have an excess kurtosis value of 3.12, does that mean the kurtosis value i

1) I think you will find that vecm 1 1 Z2 Z1 --rc estimates your system very well. I dont see the problem. 2) Consider simulating the model in VECM format. Otherwise I see no problem with your approach. 3) If the series are not cointegrated then the residuals from the cointegrating regression

AS far as I know what you say is correct. Be careful. The mater is more confusing as what many texts define as Kurtosis is in effect what Gretl calls excess kurtosis (i.e. the fourth standardised moment -3) and not the fourth standardised moment. Best Regards John On 7 March 2012 21:57, Peter T
