estBlackBox2: Estimate a TSmodel

Description

Estimate a TSmodel.

Usage

estBlackBox2(data, estimation='estVARXls', 
          lag.weight=.9, 
          reduction='MittnikReduction', 
          criterion='taic', 
          trend=FALSE, 
          subtract.means=FALSE,  re.add.means=TRUE, 
          standardize=FALSE, verbose=TRUE, max.lag=12)

Arguments

data

a TSdata object.

estimation

a character string indicating the estimation method to use.

lag.weight

weighting to apply to lagged observations.

reduction

character string indicating reduction procedure to use.

criterion

criterion to be used for model selection. see informationTestsCalculations.

trend

if TRUE include a trend in the model.

subtract.means

if TRUE the mean is subtracted from the data before estimation.

re.add.means

if subtract.means is TRUE then if re.add.means is TRUE the estimated model is converted back to a model for data without the mean subtracted.

standardize

if TRUE the data is transformed so that all variables have the same variance.

verbose

if TRUE then additional information from the estimation and reduction procedures is printed.

max.lag

The number of lags to include in the VAR estimation.

Value

• A TSestModel.

concept

DSE

Details

A model is estimated and then a reduction procedure applied. The default estimation procedure is least squares estimation of a VAR model with lagged values weighted. This procedure is discussed in Gilbert (1995).
