Using gret l for Principles of Econometrics, 4th Edition

FGLS and Other Estimators

The feasible GLS estimator of the AR(p) model can be estimated using gretl in a number of ways. For first order autocorrelated models the ar1 command can be used. There are a num­
ber of estimators available by option including the Cochrane-Orcutt (iterated), the Prais-Winsten (iterated), and the Hildreth-Lu search procedure. Examples are:

1 list x = d_u const

2 ar1 inf x # Cochrane-Orcutt (default)

3 ar1 inf x —pwe # Prais-Winsten

4 ar1 inf x —hilu —no-corc # Hildreth-Lu

The results are collected in a model table below.

CO = Cochrane Orcutt, PW=Prais-Winsten, HL=Hildreth-Lu

You can see that there are minor differences produced by these options. If the —no-corc option is not used with --hilu then the Hildreth-Lu estimator is modified slightly to perform additional iterations as the end. Notice that the Prais-Winsten is the only procedure to use all 90 observations.

For higher order models there are two commands worth taking note of. The ar command estimates a linear regression with arbitrary autocorrelation structure. It uses a generalization of the Cochrane-Orcutt iterative procedure to obtain estimates.

The other estimator is arima, the syntax for which appears below:

Подпись: Arguments: Options: Подпись: Examples:

Подпись: arima

p d q [ ; P D Q ] ; depvar [ indepvars ]

—verbose [print details of iterations)

—vcv (print covariance matrix)

--nessian (see below)

—opg (see below)

—nc (do not include a constant)

—conditional (use conditional maximum likelihood) —x-12-arima (use X-12-ARIMA for estimation)

— lbf gs (use L-BFGS-B maximizer)

—y-dif f-only (ARIMAX special, see below) --save-enat (see below) arima 1 0 2 ; у

arima 202 ; у 0 xl x2 --verbose arima Oil; Oil; у —nc

The default estimation method for arima in gretl is to estimate the parameters of the model using the “native” gretl ARMA functionality, with estimation by exact maximum likelihood using the Kalman filter. You can estimate the parameters via conditional maximum likelihood as well.

Estimating the simple AR(1) regression using these estimators is done:

1 ar 1 ; inf x

2 arima 100; inf x

For the ar command, list the lag numbers for the desired residuals. In the case of AR(1) this is just 1. This is followed by a semicolon and then the regression to estimate. The arima syntax is similar, except you specify p, d, and q, where p is the order of the desired autocorrelation, d is the number of differences to take of the time-series, and q is the order of any moving average terms you might have in the residuals.

These are very similar to the ones above. The coefficient labeled phi_1 is the estimate of the autocorrelation parameter. The root of this equation is 1/phi_1. The roots (or modulus) must be greater than 1 in absolute value in order for the model to be stationary.
