Econometric Software

Arfima package 1.04 for Exact ML estimation, simulation and Forecasting Written by Jurgen Doornik and Marius Ooms in the matrix language Ox. Fast. Allows for long series (>2500) and (Monte Carlo) simulation, forecasting and other approximate ML estimation techniques. Version for Ox 4/5/6/. Estimation and diagnostic part also available in PcGive 13. This software is accompanied by documentation and data corresponding to Rob Eisinga, Philip Hans Franses, Marius Ooms, Forecasting long memory left--right political orientations, International Journal Of Forecasting (15)2 (1999) pp. 185-199 and Inference and Forecasting for ARFIMA Models With an Application to US and UK Inflation, by Jurgen Doornik and Marius Ooms (2004), Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics and Econometrics, 8.
Jurgen Doornik and Marius Ooms authored a free Introduction to Ox, with hands-on examples (2000,2006).
