Abstract

mvcorr computes a moving-window correlation for tsvar1, tsvar2 which must be time series variables under the aegis of tsset. If a panel calendar is in effect, the correlation is calculated for each time series within the panel. A moving autocorrelation may be computed by using time series operators. The moving-window correlation is placed in a new variable, specified with the generate() option. Although mvcorr works with unbalanced panels (where the start and/or end points differ across units), it does not allow gaps within the observations of a time series; that is, the value of an observation for a given period may be missing, but the observation itself must be defined. Gaps in time series may be dealt with via the tsfill command.
