Announcements
12/14/00The final exam and data set have
been uploaded. They are also in directory ~kb/publicdata/stat5932 on
the Statistics workstation networks (HP and Linux).
Your solutions are due 12:00 noon, Friday, December 22.
12/8/00
I just uploaded another modified version of Arima.mac
which fixes a few bugs and has a few other improvements. If you
download it, you should keep your current one as well, in case I have
accidentally introduced new bugs. Unless you experience problems, you
should estimate ARIMA series using this version rather than earlier versions.
I have also uploaded
statespace.mac(for
Explorer). This includes macros genstate, kalman and
kalmanpred. There is no help for these as yet. See the
comments in the file.

Data files
At the moment you will probably not be able to download the files marked
restricted access. I hope to get the problem fixed soon.
MacAnova Macro Files
Macro files Arima.mac and tser.mac are distributed
with MacAnova. Even if you have the versions that were distributed with
version 4.10, you should download the new version 4.11 macro files. If
corrections or other changes are made you will be able to download
updated versions here.
-
statespace.mac, macros genstate, kalman and
kalmanpred related to Kalman filtering.
-
Arima.mac Latest version of macro file distributed with
MacAnova ARIMA estimation and nonlinear regression macros. Type
arimahelp() for a list of included macros. Includes new macro
neg2logLarma (12/08/00).
-
tser.mac Latest version of time series macro file
distributed with MacAnova. Type tserhelp() for a list of
included macros.
- Links to all the new macrofiles
Help on macros in these files may be obtained using
tserhelp()
and
arimahelp(). With no arguments, these print a list of the
macros in the files. You can get help on a topic by, for example,
arimahelp(arima), and usage on a topic by
arimahelp(arima,usage:T)
Recent versions of MacAnova have the feature that when you attempt to
use a macro that has not yet been read in, MacAnova automatically
searches for it in the files listed in variable MACROFILES.
Only when it is not found in any of these files will an error be reported.
