I mean, given what you have just said, use
predict, residual
but presumably there is one set of residuals for each equation, so 14
tests which can hardly be independent of each other?
I think you need advice from people who also do this kind of thing.

I am using a weekly time series data, and since one usually suspects that there could be serial correlation of the error terms in such data, I wanted to see whether this is true in my case by using D-W test on the nlsur residuals. Moreover, I have already tsset my data (before the estimation). I am not sure, though, if I understand what you mean "calculate explicitly".
