Analysis of Integrated and Cointegrated Time Series with R (Use R) Bernhard Pfaff
Publisher: Springer

Paul Teetor, who guest-blogged here about seasonal spreads, recently wrote an article about how to test for cointegration using R. The target data (Yen) is in the first column along with the two explanatory series (Yen and another asset co-integrated with movement of Yen). Error-correction model: Spell-checker. I'm now receiving requests for references showing how to use R in econometrics, Another useful book is Pfaff's Analysis of Integrated and Cointegrated Time Series with R which covers unit root tests, cointegration, VECM models, etc. This adds a lot of flexibility and by the latex compiler. As I was using the R package xtable to generate tables I couldn't change them. A regression model that explains the short-term dynamics of the relationship between two or more non-stationary, but cointegrated, time-series variables. As in the stat workshop supporting the loss forecasting, my analysts and I are frequently asked to quantify the “correlation” between time series. > head(ld_fxy_insamp) [,1] [,2] [,3] . When I use the ADF, do I need to test the series for all 3 specifications or there is any way to decide the specification for the series? Xtable is really useful, producing nicely formated latex for R data structures like dataframes, model output, time series. R is the number of co-integrating relations (the cointegrating rank) and each column of β is the cointegrating vector. Readers who don't want to pay for a copy of Matlab should find this free alternative with similar syntax quite I use R in conjunction with other tools (AmiBroker, Perl) to test econ/market hypothesis all the time. What you can do is integrate the R code and text into the same files, then generate the figures and latex text together. In the summary below, I will briefly convey a statistical The whole idea of Johansen test is to decompose PI into two n by r matrices, α and β, such that PI = α * β` and β` * Y_t is stationary. I had to use ps.options(family=”NimbusSan”) to specify another font. As we saw in the definitions near the start of this post, this model would be of the general form: ΔCt = α1 + α2ΔYt + α3Rt-1 + ut , where Rt is the OLS residuals series from the "cointegrating regression" discussed in point 1 just above. Econometricians seem to be rather slow to adopt new methods and new technology (compared to other areas of statistics), but slowly the use of R is spreading.
