March 2013 - Gretl-devel - gretlml.univpm.it

by Andreas Noack Jensen

I cannot set any of the last two counters in the package GUI to more than 9 and I would like to have the latest Gretl (1.9.12) as minimum requirement. Best Andreas Noack Jensen

A short wish list

by andreas.rosenblad＠ltv.se

Dear gretl developers, If possible, I would like to see the following features included in gretl and available form the GUI, to make it more usable: Univariate tests: *Z-test of means for paired data *McNemars test *Kruskal-Wallis test *Friedman's test *Jonckheere-Terpstra test For duration data: *Kaplan-Meier curves plot *log-rank test *Cox regression Regression models: *conditional logistic (logit) regression *generalized estimating equations *generalized linear mixed models Any chances of any of these being included? Best regards, Andreas Rosenblad

gretl-quartz, take 3

by Allin Cottrell

I've now published a third go at this, in http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/osx-testing/ On OS X 10.6.8, at least, it fixes some (not all) of the issues mentioned by Henrique and Berend. Among other things, there's support for the R shared library and there's a window listing under the top-level Mac Window menu. Some of the keyboard accelerators are better than before. Allin

leads and lags

by Lee Adkins

Hi all, What do you think about a leads function to go with lags? Even better would be to allow synatx like x(2 to -2) to add two leads and two lags (along with the contemporaneous value of x) to a variable list. I actually thought gretl had one, but if so I can't find it. As an example, it would be useful in estimating,cointegrating vectors using Dynamic OLS. <> diff x ols y const x d_x(2 to -2) <> I apologize in advance if I've missed this somehow....

gretl-quartz, take 3

by Allin Cottrell

I'm forwarding a message from Henrique Andrade, minus its PNG attachment which was too big. (Thanks, Henrique, I'll take a look at the points you mention.)

Open scripts inside folders with accented filenames (e.g. "grétel") gives the error: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input /Users/henrique/Desktop/Grétel/teste.inp: Illegal byte sequence 2. Open the Preferences menu via "File -> Preferences" lasts much more time than the "traditional" way. 3. Double-clicking to open scripts and session files is working fine. 4. The option to open new Gretl instances is great. 5. The "Window" menu entry is not updating the list of open windows even they are already closed (take a look at the attached file).

(no subject)

by Lee Adkins

Here is an unexpected feature I encountered in gig. The model is ARCH(1) with a constant mean. This script works: <> # Using GIG include gig.gfn open djclose model_arch = gig_setup(djclose,0,const) gig_set_pq(&model_arch,0,1) gig_estimate(&model_arch) <\> This may be by design, but I find it a little confusing. I would think that arch(1) might be a default if model=zero is chosen? But, if you omit the gig_set_pq, which sets garch to zero and arch to 1, the script bombs. I thought, mistakenly, that choosing model=0 in setup would not require setting pq via gig_set_pq. Note, the following script, won't work: <> # Using GIG include gig.gfn open djclose model_arch = gig_setup(djclose,0,const) gig_estimate(&model_arch) <\> What do you think? -- Lee Adkins Professor of Economics lee.adkins(a)okstate.edu learneconometrics.com

gretl-quartz.dmg, second draft

by Allin Cottrell

I've just put a second attempt at an all-in-one native quartz package of gretl in place at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/osx-testing/ Hopefully this should address some of the points made in relation to my first try, though I'm sure there will be some problems remaining. * Interactive gnuplot use should now work. * Ctrl-F2 should work to access the main window menu (or fn-Ctrl-F2, if Ctrl-F2 is taken by the OS to control the LCD brightness, as on a Macbook Air). * Command-w should work to close more windows than before. * There's now a functioning theme selector under Preferences/ General. I've made "Clearlooks" the default; "Lion-like" may look a bit more Mac-ish, but I suspect it may be flaky. If you're testing this, I recommend that you first delete your ~/.gretl2rc file, if present. Not sure about file-type associations; I've done something that I think should be helpful but I'd be interested to hear if they're now working. As for "Alt-key" navigation of menus, my research[*] tells me that's not a Mac thing, and it seems we can't have it both ways; it's totally disabled in gtk-quartz. But having got to the main menu via Ctrl-F2, you can navigate via initial letters of menu items or arrow keys. [*] See (among many other references), http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key Allin

Re: [Gretl-devel] Gretl-devel Digest, Vol 74, Issue 15

by José Belbute

Dear ... I've been trying to estimate a system of simultaneous equations with restrictions using the appropriate command (I´m using the window mode, not the console). Here is what I'm writting at the system of simultaneous equations window equation y1 const x1 x2 x3 equation y2 const x1 x2 x3 equation y3 const x1 x2 x3 b[1,3] - b[2,2] = 0 b[1,4] - b[3,2] = 0 b[2,4] - b[3,3] = 0 b[1,2] - b[1,3] - b[1,4] = 0 b[2,2] - b[2,3] - b[2,4] = 0 b[3,2] - b[3,3] - b[3,4] = 0 b[1,1] + b[2,1] + b[4,1] = 1 after choosing the appropriate estimator method and "enter," gretl returns the following message: "Syntax error in command line" Please could you help me to understand what am I doing wrong? regards JMMBelbute On Fri, Mar 22, 2013 at 4:00 PM, <gretl-devel-request(a)lists.wfu.edu> wrote: > Send Gretl-devel mailing list submissions to > gretl-devel(a)lists.wfu.edu > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > gretl-devel-request(a)lists.wfu.edu > > You can reach the person managing the list at > gretl-devel-owner(a)lists.wfu.edu > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Gretl-devel digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Time series plots

by Andreas Noack Jensen

I am trying to plot a time series with confidence bounds but something weird is happening when I try to plot the three series in one figure. Please try to plot tmps1-3 from https://dl.dropbox.com/u/532952/australia.gdt separately and in one window. Are the second and third series matched in mean and standard deviation to the first?
