Re: st: How to add Q stats from -wntestq- to -esttab- table (hopefully with -estadd-)

[Richard Herron <richard.c.herron@gmail.com>]

I found a hackish solution.

* ----- begin code -----
* combine regressions with -eststo- and add -wntestq- with -estadd-
webuse friedman2, clear
generate ln_m1 = ln(m1)
eststo clear
eststo: quietly arima DS4.ln_m1, ar(1) ma(2)
quietly predict res_1, residuals
quietly wntestq res_1
estadd scalar Q = r(stat)

eststo: quietly arima DS4.ln_m1, ar(1) ma(1/2)
quietly predict res_2, residuals
quietly wntestq res_2
estadd scalar Q = r(stat)

eststo: quietly arima DS4.ln_m1, ar(1/2) ma(2)
quietly predict res_3, residuals
quietly wntestq res_3
estadd scalar Q = r(stat)

eststo: quietly arima DS4.ln_m1, ar(1/2) ma(1/2)
quietly predict res_4, residuals
quietly wntestq res_4
estadd scalar Q = r(stat)

* and create tables with -esttab-
esttab, stats(aic bic Q) noobslast nomtitles
* ----- end code -----

Programming is the next task in my R-to-Stata switch. I will update
when I learn how to code a -estadd_wntestq- solution.
