Usually the BIC statistic (or alternately the AIC) is used for model
selection when the model uses maximum likelihood, using the
postestimation -estat(ic)- command. Another method is the
Proportional Reduction in Errors (PRE) method (i.e. the model that has
the fewest errors in prediction). There is a postestimation command
for this -pre- available from ssc, however, I am not sure I have
tested it for the type of time series models you are using. -pre- has
the advantage of working for any model type. If it doesn't seem to
work for the models you are using, send me the commands and a data
sample and I will get it working for you.
