| DEPLAG Statement |
- DEPLAG LAGS = order <PHI = value ...> <NOEST> ;
If the dependent series is denoted by 
, the following statement specifies the inclusion of 
in the model. The parameters 
and 
are estimated from the data.
deplag lags=2;
The following statement requests including 
in the model. The values of and are fixed at 0.8 and –1.2.
deplag lags=(1)(4) phi=0.8 -1.2 noest;
The dependent lag parameters are not constrained to lie in any particular region. In particular, this implies that a UCM that contains only an irregular component and dependent lags, resulting in a traditional autoregressive model, is not constrained to be a stationary model. In the DEPLAG statement, if an initial value is supplied for any one of the parameters, the initial values must also be supplied for all other parameters.
- LAGS=order
- LAGS=(lag, ..., lag ) ...(lag, ..., lag )
-
is a required option in this statement. LAGS=(l
, l 
, ..., l 
) defines a model with specified lags of the dependent variable included as predictors. LAGS=order is equivalent to LAGS=(1, 2, ..., order ). A concatenation of parenthesized lists specifies a factored model. For example, LAGS=(1)(12) specifies that the lag values, 1, 12, and 13, corresponding to the following polynomial in the backward shift operator, be included in the model
Note that, in this case, the coefficient of the thirteenth lag is constrained to be the product of the coefficients of the first and twelfth lags.
- NOEST
fixes the values of the parameters to those specified in PHI= option.
- PHI=value ...
lists starting values for the coefficients of the lagged dependent variable. The order of the values listed corresponds with the order of the lags specified in the LAGS= option.
