Forecasting time series data - extraploation

[danishussalam]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for STATA commands that would help me have more time series data than what I've got. I have time series from 1940-2016. Is there a way to estimate/forecast data for say till 2020? Also is there a way estimate data backward? for instance estimating 10 years data till 1930 from 76 years data (1940-2016).

Thanks.

You'll increase your chances of a useful answer by following the FAQ on asking questions - provide Stata code in code delimiters, Stata output, and sample data using dataex.

If you Google stata out of sample prediction, you'll find relevant material.
