comment How to estimate the deposit mix of a bank using interest rate as the independent variable?
I looked into VAR and with a colleague developed a VAR model for this problem. My conclusion is that it is really not a VAR application. Logically it does not make any sense. To predict any of the dependent variables you need future estimates of all the other dependent variables. That does not work. Can anyone come up with a sensical alternative?

The latter, the RMSE.

whuber, see my edited answer I think it is getting closer if not downright correct. What do you think?

comment How to calculate the combined standard error of two models?
This is a simple example to capture the relevant calculation. So, the stock market return model is based solely on GDP growth. The second and third questions are not directly relevant. This is a made up example to ask the question. See my answer below. Do you think it is right?

To further define the deposit variable, to keep it short let's say there are just 3 products: CDs, savings acct., checking acct. And, let's assume they have all equal share of the deposit mix: CDs 33.3%, savings 33.3%, checking 33.3%. And, we want to observe how that deposit mix changes over time using FF rate as the one independent variable. Could you really do that using VAR? What software do you need to do VAR?

Peter, they are similar but far from identical. There are variations in size, lot size, # of bedrooms & bathrooms, etc... And, those characteristics are the independent variables. As mentioned in another comment, I have resolved this conundrum by using an optimization (minimizing the square of the errors in estimating sales prices of those homes). It worked well. And, I generated almost the exact same valuation for my house as the one generated by Value Appeal.com. The latter is a professional service that assists you in appealing property tax.
