  • International Journal of Forecasting Guidelines for IJF Software Reviewers
    International Journal of Forecasting Guidelines for IJF Software Reviewers It is desirable that there be some small degree of uniformity amongst the software reviews in this journal, so that regular readers of the journal can have some idea of what to expect when they read a software review. In particular, I wish to standardize the second section (after the introduction) of the review, and the penultimate section (before the conclusions). As stand-alone sections, they will not materially affect the reviewers abillity to craft the review as he/she sees fit, while still providing consistency between reviews. This applies mostly to single-product reviews, but some of the ideas presented herein can be successfully adapted to a multi-product review. The second section, Overview, is an overview of the package, and should include several things. · Contact information for the developer, including website address. · Platforms on which the package runs, and corresponding prices, if available. · Ancillary programs included with the package, if any. · The final part of this section should address Berk's (1987) list of criteria for evaluating statistical software. Relevant items from this list should be mentioned, as in my review of RATS (McCullough, 1997, pp.182- 183). · My use of Berk was extremely terse, and should be considered a lower bound. Feel free to amplify considerably, if the review warrants it. In fact, Berk's criteria, if considered in sufficient detail, could be the outline for a review itself. The penultimate section, Numerical Details, directly addresses numerical accuracy and reliality, if these topics are not addressed elsewhere in the review.

  • Gröbner Basis and Structural Equation Modeling by Min Lim a Thesis
    Grobner¨ Basis and Structural Equation Modeling by Min Lim A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Statistics University of Toronto Copyright c 2010 by Min Lim Abstract Gr¨obnerBasis and Structural Equation Modeling Min Lim Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Statistics University of Toronto 2010 Structural equation models are systems of simultaneous linear equations that are gener- alizations of linear regression, and have many applications in the social, behavioural and biological sciences. A serious barrier to applications is that it is easy to specify models for which the parameter vector is not identifiable from the distribution of the observable data, and it is often difficult to tell whether a model is identified or not. In this thesis, we study the most straightforward method to check for identification – solving a system of simultaneous equations. However, the calculations can easily get very complex. Gr¨obner basis is introduced to simplify the process. The main idea of checking identification is to solve a set of finitely many simultaneous equations, called identifying equations, which can be transformed into polynomials. If a unique solution is found, the model is identified. Gr¨obner basis reduces the polynomials into simpler forms making them easier to solve. Also, it allows us to investigate the model-induced constraints on the covariances, even when the model is not identified. With the explicit solution to the identifying equations, including the constraints on the covariances, we can (1) locate points in the parameter space where the model is not iden- tified, (2) find the maximum likelihood estimators, (3) study the effects of mis-specified models, (4) obtain a set of method of moments estimators, and (5) build customized parametric and distribution free tests, including inference for non-identified models.

  • Rtadf: Testing for Bubbles with Eviews
    JSS Journal of Statistical Software November 2017, Volume 81, Code Snippet 1. doi: 10.18637/jss.v081.c01 Rtadf: Testing for Bubbles with EViews Itamar Caspi Bank of Israel Abstract This paper presents Rtadf (right-tail augmented Dickey-Fuller), an EViews add-in that facilitates the performance of time series based tests that help detect and date-stamp asset price bubbles. The detection strategy is based on a right-tail variation of the standard augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test where the alternative hypothesis is of a mildly explo- sive process. Rejection of the null in each of these tests may serve as empirical evidence for an asset price bubble. The add-in implements four types of tests: standard ADF, rolling window ADF, supremum ADF (SADF; Phillips, Wu, and Yu 2011) and general- ized SADF (GSADF; Phillips, Shi, and Yu 2015). It calculates the test statistics for each of the above four tests, simulates the corresponding exact finite sample critical values and p values via Monte Carlo methods, under the assumption of Gaussian innovations, and produces a graphical display of the date stamping procedure. Keywords: rational bubble, ADF test, sup ADF test, generalized sup ADF test, mildly explo- sive process, EViews. 1. Introduction Empirical identification of asset price bubbles in real time, and even in retrospect, is surely not an easy task, and it has been the source of academic and professional debate for several decades.1 One strand of the empirical literature suggests using time series estimation tech- niques while exploiting predictions made by finance theory in order to test for the existence of bubbles in the data.

  • A Guide to Statistical Software
    A Guide to Statistical Software Commercially Available Software There are three general classes of software available using several different user interfaces. Statistical software begins to blend in one direction with relational database software such as Oracle or Sybase (software we do not discuss here) and with mathematical software such as MATLAB in the other direction. Mathematical software exhibits not only statistical capabilities flowing from code for matrix manipulation, but also optimization and symbolic manipulation useful for statistical purposes. Finally visualization software overlaps to some extent with software intended for exploratory data analysis. The user interfaces common range from command line to graphical user interfaces (GUI) to hybrid drag and drop system interfaces. We cast our net fairly widely in describing commercial software because of the general boundary crossing capabilities of the software systems. The SAS® System for Statistical Analysis SAS began as a statistical analysis system in the late 1960's growing out of a project in the Department of Experimental Statistics at North Carolina State University. The SAS Institute was founded in 1976. Since that time, the SAS System has expanded to become an evolving system for complete data management and analysis. Among the products making up the SAS System are products for: management of large data bases; statistical analysis of time series; statistical analysis of most classical statistical problems, including multivariate analysis, linear models (as well as generalized linear models), and clustering; data visualization and plotting. A geographic information system is one of the products available in the system. The SAS System is available on PC and UNIX based platforms, as well as on mainframe computers.

  • Introduction to Eviews 2.0
    Introduction to EViews 2.0 Overview of product EViews provides regression and forecasting tools on Windows computers. With EViews you can develop a statistical relation from your data and then use the relation to forecast future values of the data. Areas where EViews can be useful include: · Sales forecasting · Cost analysis and forecasting · Financial analysis · Macroeconomic forecasting · Simulation · Scientific data analysis and evaluation EViews is a new version of a set of tools for manipulating time series data originally developed in the Time Series Processor software for large computers. The immediate predecessor of EViews was MicroTSP, first released in 1981. Though EViews was developed by economists and most of its uses are in economics, there is nothing in its design that limits its usefulness to economic time series. Even quite large cross-section projects can be handled in EViews. The basic data object within EViews is the time series. Each series has a name, and you can request operations on all the observations just by mentioning the name of the series. EViews provides convenient visual ways to enter time series from the keyboard or from disk files, to create new series from existing ones, to display and print series, and to carry out statistical analysis of the relations among series. EViews uses the visual features of modern Windows software. You can use your mouse to guide the operation with standard Windows menus and dialogs. Results appear in windows and can be manipulated with standard Windows techniques. Alternatively, you may use EViews' powerful command language. You can enter and edit commands in the command window.
