Decomposition of Theil U?

Postby DanielBachman » Wed Dec 12, 2007 12:17 pm

I hope I am not missing something obvious, but I would like to know how to obtain the decomposition of Theil's U (into bias, regression, and residuals).

Any information anybody has about this would be very welcome.

Theil's statistics for decomposition of forecast error aren't the same as the Theil's U statistics produced by the THEIL instruction. What I think you want are computed by the uforeerrors procedure with the theildecomp option. A couple of the Pindyck and Rubinfeld examples (pr08-2.prg and pr08-3.prg) use it.
