win snapshot file corrupted?
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I was trying to download the latest snapshot for win32 today but
couldn't run the file because I got an error message about a corrupted
file. D/l-ing again didn't help. Is it my current connection or is the
file really bad?
thanks,

Seats-Tramo
by Gianluca Caporello
Hi all,
I'm Gianluca Caporello the main developer of Seats-Tramo, by now, at the bank of Spain we developed a new release of ST which export a C++,Java and Python (and a primitive R) API to ST (Windows and Linux).The API is not documented but it's running from some years on a FAME integration and we have a lot of running examples.
If interested for a better integration in GRETL feel free to contact me or give a look at http://www.bde.es/webbde/es/secciones/servicio/software/econom.html

* open australia data
* do vecm with pau and pus as endo (lag order 4, rank 1), iau and ius as
exogenous, unrestricted, lags 1 to 2.
* estimate
* modify specification: set all exogenous to restricted
* estimate: -boom-

exo vars in johansen test
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I just noticed that while it's possible to specify exogenous variables
in the Johansen cointegration test, there are the following issues with
the output:
* the exogenous variables aren't reported
* a warning should be printed that the critical values and p-values are
in general only appropriate in the case without exogenous variables
thanks,

gretl usage in Germany
by Sven Schreiber
Dear all,
as a change from my flood of bug reports I thought I'd share this
information with you: At the institute where I am working we regularly
receive applications for internships from German (-speaking) students.
Right now it's especially noticeable because the semester break in
February/March is approaching. And what's interesting is that in their
CVs quite many (maybe half?) of the applicants mention that they are
familiar with gretl. That must be because it was taught at their home
university. (And no, they are not applying directly to me, so it's not
because they want to pamper me -- actually I don't think that the
average student looks at the info box and remembers the name of the
translator there.)
So I think gretl is definitely on the rise in the German-speaking region.
have a good weekend,
sven

Re: [Gretl-devel] Gretl project on the launchpad
by Ivan Sopov
Hello, our project at launchpad have recently past the stage of manual
import of the template stage and we are able to start translation of
the help system on Launchpad.
Here is the link to the translation in russian:
https://translations.launchpad.net/gretl/trunk/+pots/gretl-help/ru/+trans...
Here is the link to the template:
https://translations.launchpad.net/gretl/trunk/+pots/gretl-help
I'm currently not on my linux laptop so I will try to generate
.po-files for pt_BR some time later as it was requested. We'll look
what it will be.

bootstrapped test results
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
it seems it's not currently possible to access the results of a
bootstrapped restriction test?
I just did:
restrict --bootstrap
<whatever>
end restrict
stat = $test
p = $pvalue
and stat and p then hold the output of the standard Wald test, which is
misleading IMHO. Instead I would suggest to set $test to NA or something
like that, while $pvalue should give the bootstrapped rejection frequency.
Also, an option to set the number of replications would be useful (e.g.
resrict --bootstrap=5000).
thanks,

off-by-one error in index loop?
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
the following minimal demonstration script:
<script>
open denmark
loop i=1985:1..1985:4
printf "the period: %s\n", obslabel(i)
end loop
</script>
yields the following output for me:
<output>
gretl-Version 1.8.6cvs
Aktuelle Sitzung: 2009-12-09 19:00
? open denmark
Lese Datendatei /usr/local/share/gretl/data/misc/denmark.gdt

? loop i=1985:1..1985:4
> printf "the period: %s\n", obslabel(i)
> end loop
loop: i = 1985:2
the period: 1985:1
loop: i = 1985:3
the period: 1985:2
loop: i = 1985:4
the period: 1985:3
loop: i = 1986:1
the period: 1985:4
Anzahl an Iterationen: 4
</output>
Notice that gretl's echo/message w.r.t. the loop index seems to be ahead
of the actual loop index by one. But the bug seems harmless, as nothing
substantial is affected.
Or am I missing something?
thanks,

Small bug in GUI
by Marcin Błażejowski
Hi,
let's run following script:
---
nulldata 2000
setobs 6 2003/01/03 --time-series
series X = normal()
series Y = normal(1,10)
---
and try to compact data...
But for 5 or 7 day week this option is visible.
Current CVS.
Best Regards,
Marcin
