%eqnxvector instruction

[Javi]

To whom it might concern:

I have estimated the following nonlinear model:

stat(noprint) diflrop
compute scalef=1.0/sqrt(%variance)
lin(define=standard,noprint) diflrop
# diflrop{1}
frml(equation=standard,vector=phi1) phi1f
do i=1,1
compute phi1(i)=%beta(i)
end do
lin(define=transit,noprint) diflrop
# diflrop{1 to 2} diflrop{4} diflrop{6}
frml(equation=transit,vector=phi2) phi2f
do j=1,4
compute phi2(j)=%beta(j)
end do
nonlin(parmset=regparms) phi1 phi2
nonlin(parmset=starparms) gamma
frml flstar = 1/(1+exp(-gamma*scalef*(diflwop{5})))
frml lstar diflwop=f=flstar,phi1f+f*phi2f
compute gamma = 1
nlls(frml=lstar,parmset=regparms+starparms,method=simplex,iters=5) diflrop
nlls(frml=lstar,parmset=regparms+starparms,cvcrit=0.0001) diflrop / resids

then I want to do some misspecification test. For this purpose I need to extract some vectors as follows:

compute standsize=%eqnsize(standard)
compute transize=%eqnsize(transit)

dec rect[series] standreg(2,standsize)
dec rect[series] transreg(2,transize)
dec rect[series] teststand(3,standsize)
dec rect[series] testtrans(3,transize)

do i=1,standsize
set standreg(1,i)=flstar*%eqnxvector(standard,i)
set standreg(2,i)=(1-flstar)*eqnxvector(standard,i)
end do i

bur at this point a message error appears:

Can't Interpret FRML * VECTOR
## SX27. Illegal Combination of Data Types for Operation
>>>>vector(standard,i)<<<<

I can not figure out where is the problem. Help will be very welcome.

Best regards,

Javi

You're missing the space after the target series (and before the =) on the following:

Code: Select all

set standreg(1,i) =flstar*%eqnxvector(standard,i)
set standreg(2,i) =(1-flstar)*eqnxvector(standard,i)

Dear Tom:

Thanks for your help. However, after allowing for the spaces

do i=1,standsize
set standreg(1,i) = flstar*%eqnxvector(standard,i)
set standreg(2,i) = (1-flstar)*eqnxvector(standard,i)
end do i

the following error message is obtained:

## SX22. Expected Type REAL, Got MATRIX(REAL) Instead
>>>>vector(standard,i)<<<<

Can I ask for your help once again?

Best regards,

Javi

You want to use %eqnxvector(standard,t)(i). %eqnxvector(standard,t) pulls the full k-vector of explanatory variables for equation standard at time t. You then want element i out of that.

Thank you very much for your help.
