qstats
Multivariate residual autocorrelation Portmanteau tests.
Syntax
var_name.qstats(h, options)
You must specify the highest order of lag h to test for serial correlation. h must be larger than the VAR lag order.
Options
 
name=arg
Save Q-statistics in the named matrix object. The matrix has two columns: the first column contains the unmodified Q-statistic; the second column contains the modified Q-statistics.
prompt
Force the dialog to appear from within a program.
p
Print the Portmanteau test results.
Examples
var var1.ls 1 6 lgdp lm1 lcpi
show var1.qstats(l0, name=q)
The first line declares and estimates a VAR. The second line displays the portmanteau tests for lags up to 10, and stores the Q-statistics in a matrix named Q.
