It appears that one problem does not work.  It is because I have given you a 
model that cannot be inverted.

Run this:

This is a very hard problem.  I will give the class somehelp.

/; setup shows why so much of an issue for this problem.
/; As stated in the problem we have a model that cannot be inverted.

b34sexec data noob=1000 $
         build ma2 norm ma2b;
         gen norm=rn()$
         gen ma2 =lp(0,3,norm) ma(1. -.7  -.45) values(0.0)$
         gen ma2b =lp(0,3,norm) ma(1. -.7 -.15) values(0.0)$
         b34srun$

/; Can model be put in inverted form?

b34sexec polysolv$  polydivide top(1.)
   bot(1.,-.7,-.45) nterms=40$     b34srun$
b34sexec polysolv$  polydivide top(1.)
   bot(1., .7, .45) nterms=40$     b34srun$

b34sexec polysolv$  polydivide top(1,)
   bot(1, -.7,-.15) nterms=40$     b34srun$

b34sexec bjest nac=24$
         model ma2$
         modeln q=(1,2)$
                forecast nf=10 nt=80$
b34srun$

b34sexec bjest nac=24$
         model ma2b$
         modeln q=(1,2)$
                forecast nf=10 nt=80$
b34srun$


b34sexec matrix;
call loaddata;
call graph(ma2);
call graph(ma2b);
acf1=acf(ma2,24,se,pacf1);
acf2=acf(ma2B,24,se,pacf2);
call tabulate(acf1,pacf1,acf2,pacf2);

   call autobj(ma2 :print :nac 24 :npac 24
                   :autobuild );

call autobj(ma2b :print :nac 24 :npac 24
                 :autobuild );

b34srun;


Note that the inverted form blows up!!!!!!!!
	
We will talk about this Tuesday.  It is the topic of problem set # 3

It was brought to my attention that the b34s.ini did not allow access to b34sexec forecast.
I have fixed this problem and put a new b34s up.  

If you want to run the forecast command, install a new b34s.  
A few additions have been made the the libraries.  The b34slf95.exe has not changed.
