Missing links
by Henrique
Dear developers,
I'd realized that the Mac OS gretl web page doesn´t have the
"Optional extras to install" links (like X12 ARIMA and TRAMO/SEATS).
I know that Mac/gretl users are a few part of the gretl community
but I suppose these features (the web links) would be great for us
(Mac/gretl users).
Best,

Translation issues
by Talha Yalta
I have a few questions/issues to report that I encountered while
updating the Turkish translation:
1)- In the regression output, Turkish translation uses "Hannan-Quinn
Information Criterion" (line 977) which is too long resulting in the
defaulting to the old view. The English translation seems to use the
"Hannan-Quinn" in line 989.
2)- In the "gretl:forecasts" window the first column is labeled "obs"
The translation for "Obs" is defined in the po file line 1071. Can
this be used in this particular case please? It looks really bad
otherwise.
3)- Line 1721 is changed to "Produce forecast for" This type of
expressions are very awkward for translation into Turkish where the
subject usually has to be in the beginning and the verb is at the end.
...and where do I get this string in the program?
4)- The line 2261:
For %g\\%% confidence intervals, $z(%g) = %.2f$\n
\n
Here is the "\\" for Latex? How should I the percentage sign in front of %g
Similarly, in line 2263, would it be OK to translate like this?
%g\\%% interval
as
\\%% %g aralığı
5)- When I copy the contents of a window and paste it I get problems
with the Turkish characters. Below I paste the contents of the ANOVA
window:
Varyans \Uffffffffz\Uffffffffsi:
Kareler toplam\Uffffffff sd Ortalama
Ba\Uffffffff\Uffffffff 4,36357e+06 2 2,18179e+06
Kal\Uffffffff 1,67307e+08 37 4,5218e+06
Toplam 1,7167e+08 39 4,63973e+06
R^2 = 4,36357e+06 / 1,7167e+08 = 0,025418
F(2, 37) = 2,18179e+06 / 4,5218e+06 = 0,482504 [p-de\Uffffffff 0,6211]
These are all the issues that I encounered.
Cheers

user access to the Kalman filter
by Allin Cottrell
I think it's time to "unveil" what we have come up with for
user-level access to the Kalman filter, and to ask for bug reports
and suggestions for improvement.
Support for this is in CVS and the current Windows and OS X
snapshots. The documentation is not yet included in the User's
Guide or Reference, but you can find it at
http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/gretl_kalman/kalman.pdf
In brief, you can set up a Kalman filter via a "kalman .. end
kalman" block of commands, on the general pattern of "gmm", and
you can then use any of the functions kfilter, ksmooth and ksimul
(simulation). The multivariate case is supported, and
time-varying coefficients are supported.
We don't yet support the case where the disturbances are
correlated across the state transition equation and the
observation equation; that's work in progress.
The pdf file includes details on the syntax plus some examples of
use.
Allin.

gretl compile error
by Talha Yalta
I got an error building gretl from cvs. I got:
./mklang > gretl.lang
/bin/sh: gretl.lang: Erişim engellendi
make[1]: *** [gretl.lang] Hata 1
which means error 1 access denied.
Trying "make clean" didn't help but doing "sudo make" did.

gretl for iphone
by Talha Yalta
I am asking just out of curiosity. How possible or feasible is it to
make gretl run under an iphone or even an ipod or something like that
(not specifically an apple product)? Imagine the possibility of
carrying gretl in your pocket :-)

next version
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
IMHO the changelog for 1.8.1 is pretty long already. Does a plan to make
a new release at the end of April sound reasonable (would be 3 months
after the previous one)?
BTW, I would suggest that the changed exponentiation associativity
should also be filed under backwards-incompatible changes. If you like I
guess I could do it myself (assuming the html web files are also stored
in cvs).
thanks,
sven
