The forerunner of RATS was a FORTRAN program called SPECTRE, written by economist Christopher A. Sims. [2] SPECTRE was designed to overcome some limitations of existing software that affected Sims' research in the 1970s, by providing spectral analysis and also the ability to run long unrestricted distributed lags. [3]
In Stata, this test is performed by the command estat bgodfrey. [7] [8] In SAS, the GODFREY option of the MODEL statement in PROC AUTOREG provides a version of this test. In Python Statsmodels, the acorr_breusch_godfrey function in the module statsmodels.stats.diagnostic [9]
RATS: robusterrors option is available in many of the regression and optimization commands (linreg, nlls, etc.). Stata: robust option applicable in many pseudo-likelihood based procedures. [19] Gretl: the option --robust to several estimation commands (such as ols) in the context of a cross-sectional dataset produces robust standard errors. [20]
There are a few reviews of free statistical software. There were two reviews in journals (but not peer reviewed), one by Zhu and Kuljaca [26] and another article by Grant that included mainly a brief review of R. [27] Zhu and Kuljaca outlined some useful characteristics of software, such as ease of use, having a number of statistical procedures and ability to develop new procedures.
In Stata, the command newey produces Newey–West standard errors for coefficients estimated by OLS regression. [13] In MATLAB, the command hac in the Econometrics toolbox produces the Newey–West estimator (among others). [14] In Python, the statsmodels [15] module includes functions for the covariance matrix using Newey–West.
In the analysis of data, a correlogram is a chart of correlation statistics. For example, in time series analysis, a plot of the sample autocorrelations versus (the time lags) is an autocorrelogram. If cross-correlation is plotted, the result is called a cross-correlogram.
Retail reading. The final monthly retail sales report before the start of the holiday shopping season is set for release on Thursday. Economists estimate retail sales increased 0.3% over the prior ...
It has both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface. It is written in C, uses GTK+ as widget toolkit for creating its GUI, and calls gnuplot for generating graphs. The native scripting language of gretl is known as hansl (see below); it can also be used together with TRAMO/SEATS, R, Stata, Python, Octave, Ox and Julia.
