new in CVS
by Allin Cottrell
A couple of new things for testing:
1) (Limited) support for Stata under the "foreign" command.
This is documented in chapter 37 of the User's Guide, with a
simple example. I've found it convenient for comparing results
with stata. Works fine on Linux but I have no idea about on
Windows, would be interesting to hear. It's assumed the stata
executable is called "stata" and is in the PATH.
2) The beginnings of cluster-robust standard errors. Currently
only for ols and tsls but could be extended. Not documented
yet, but the syntax is just, e.g.,
ols y 0 Xlist --cluster=clustvar
where "clustvar" is a series in the dataset with at least two
distinct values over the estimation range. (It's in the GUI
too, under the "Configure" button if you check "Robust
standard errors" in the model specification dialog.)
Just for fun here's the User's Guide script which shows both
new things:
<hansl>
function matrix stata_reorder (matrix se)
# stata puts the intercept last, but gretl puts it first
scalar n = rows(se)
return se[n] | se[1:n-1]
end function
open data4-1
ols 1 0 2 3 --cluster=bedrms
matrix se = $stderr
foreign language=stata --send-data
regress price sqft bedrms, vce(cluster bedrms)
matrix vcv = e(V)
gretl_export vcv "vcv.mat"
end foreign
matrix stata_vcv = mread("@dotdir/vcv.mat")
stata_se = stata_reorder(sqrt(diag(stata_vcv)))
matrix check = se - stata_se
print check
</hansl>

Strings for Translation
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Allin,
I think we have some strings not marked for translation in the arima
command output:
norm
MA root
MA estimate(s) out of bounds

Ubuntu 12.04 and homepage
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
the warning about gretl on Ubuntu 11.04 has been on the homepage for a
while (I think I had suggested it). Now that ubuntu 12.04 is out, I
guess it's time to remove that warning from the web? Assuming that there
isn't a problem now, that is. (I have upgraded one machine to 12.04, but
I'm not running the built-in package there, so I don't know.)
cheers,
sven

Ok,
Would you be so kind an tell me how do I do that (I've already tried to run
"gretlw32.exe" as administrator but it didn't solve the problem?

problems withe gretl (graphs and X-12 ARIMA - seasonal adjustment)
by José Belbute
Dear Allin Cottrell
I'll answer using your text.
What happens if you try running wgnuplot.exe (it's in the
gretl folder) directly?
1. I see this:
[image: Inline image 1]
Do you have x12arima installed and is its location correctly stated in your
gretl configuration (under /Tools/Preferences/General and the "Programs"
tab)?
Allin Cottrell
2. Yes, I've the X12 ARIMA installed. But when I need it greltl returns
that the file is not there.

Translation Help
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Allin,
Could you please explain me the context of these lines?
"Got no variables"
"Got no observations"
I'm trying to improve the Brazilian Portuguese translation and these lines
are breaking my head :-)
Best,
Henrique Andrade*

Re: [Gretl-devel] Gretl-devel Digest, Vol 64, Issue 1
by José Belbute
Hello,
Thank you vary much for you reply
The only problem is that for any graph i get the following message: "Arg
list too long."
Moreover, gretl returns "The system can not find the specified file" (the
X-12-ARIMA) when I try to estimate an ARIMA model with seasonal adjustment.
Best regards

Running gretl in a windows 64 bit environment
by José Belbute
Dear all
My laptop is running Windows 7 -64Bit and I believe that for that reason I’ve
been unable to correctly install gretl 32 (1.9.8) - for example, graphics
are not running – Art too long-, etc).
Do you have a 64 Bit version of Gretl?
If not can you help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much
