OLD Syntax

John Amora
This syntax works in version SPSS 14.  I wonder why it doesnt work in version 16.0. I have time series module.
 
fit errors =err_1 err_2 err_3
/OBS = property property
/DFE =23 23.
 
Thnks.
Johnny

Re: OLD Syntax

SPSS Support
Johnny,

According to the syntax reference, your syntax should not have worked in SPSS 14 or any version of SPSS.  The number of variables given on the /OBS subcommand must match the number of variables following ERRORS.  Thus, you are required to specify 'property' three times, instead of twice.  Likewise for /DFE.  Alternatively, OBS and DFE are as intended, but err_3 must be excluded.

Also, note that TSMODEL calls errors Noise Residuals, with names like 'Nresiduals_variable_Model_1'.  It is possible that you created residuals with their default names in some earlier syntax, but now the names are not those the FIT command expects.  So you should also verify that the variables err_1, err_2, (and perhaps err_3) are present in the file.

It is always very helpful to include the exact text of error messages, if any, instead of simply stating 'it doesn't work'.
