Subject   st: Question on Dfactor and Gaps in Time Series

Statalist,
I am using the dfactor command and have run into the gap in time series
error. My data is price (p), volume (v) and earnings yield (ep) and I am
trying to develop a dynamic factor model using the dfactor command. My
code is:

tsset
        time variable:  date, 2008w25 to 2010w40
                delta:  1 week

. dfactor(D.(p v ep)=,noconstant)(f=,ar(1/2))
gaps in the time series are not allowed
r(459);

. tsfill,full

tsset
        time variable:  date, 2008w25 to 2010w40
                delta:  1 week

. dfactor(D.(p v ep)=,noconstant)(f=,ar(1/2))
gaps in the time series are not allowed
r(459);

It appears that the dfactor command is not recognizing the tsfill, full
step.  The dfactor is a relatively new command and I did not see
anything regarding the time gap issue and dfactor on the FAQ.

Thank you for your assistance.
