why does the command window show 'Unrecognized function or variable 'beta_est'.'? how to solve it?

1 view (last 30 days)
syms bets_est;
for t=1:n-1;
func=(sigma2(t+1)-sigma2(t))/(S(t+1)-S(t))*S(t)/sigma2(t)==beta_est(t)-2;
end
solve(eq,beta_est);
where sigma2 is an anrray with 1*809, S is an anrray with 1*809,n=809.
I would like to solve this equation. And here is what the command window shows.
>> for t=1:n-1;
func=(sigma2(t+1)-sigma2(t))/(S(t+1)-S(t))*S(t)/sigma2(t)==beta_est(t)-2;
end
Unrecognized function or variable 'beta_est'.

Replace the line:
syms bets_est;
with
syms beta_est;
By the way you need not to use syms.
You can straight away solve using:
beta_est(t) = (sigma2(t+1)-sigma2(t))/(S(t+1)-S(t))*S(t)/sigma2(t) +2;
No loop needed... use
beta_est = diff(sigma2)./(diff(S)).*S(1:end-1)./sigma2(1:end-1) +2;
