Hello,
I am trying to do a rolling ARIMA (p,1,q) regression using -rolling- command but having difficulty predicting my y-hat values (not in xb form but in y), after Stata finishes its rolling procedure. I have been referring to the Stata 9 time series manual, specifically its example 3 of the -rolling- section where it suggests creating a .do file / rclass program, but i am very inexperienced with the programming syntax; i have been attempting a lot of trial-and-error rclass program but so far i've been unsuccessful despite the hours i've put into this trying to make it work.
for my specific analysis, i have set the recursive window size at (500), as i am trying to take the first five hundred data points (of my existing 1000 actual y-values), do a 1-step forecast for Y-hat_501, store that Y-hat_501, then take the 501 y-values to do another 1-step forecast on Y-hat_502.. etc.
if i do not use rclass program and simply use -rolling- command with ARIMA, all my resulting coefficients from the rolling regression would be stored in data editor but i am unable to acquire my y-hat values from them (not sure if this is possible without resorting to rclass programs?)
i did find some examples of rclass programs scattered about the interet similar to my task (please refer to below for one), but i could not exactly modify it to match my analysis as i do not understand the syntax very well (especially confused about setting the local values which would tell stata exactly the procedure i described above using the correct range of data). unfortunately i only own the stata time series manual and not the programming manual. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks for reading i hope i made myself clear.

sample rclass program:
> program define rollpred
> version 6.0
> syntax varlist , [begin(int 200) end(int 10)] gen(str)
> confirm new var `gen'
> gen `gen'=.
> tempvar pred
> local obs=_N
> local i=1
> local j=`i'+(`begin'-`end')
> local n=`i'+`begin'
> quietly {
> while `j'<`obs' {
> reg `varlist' in `i'/`j'
> cap drop `pred'
> predict `pred' in `n'
> replace `gen'=`pred' in `n'
> local i=`i'+1
> local j=`j'+1
> local n=`n'+1
> }
> }
> end
