Some diagnostic test results are not added to the model window
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
after estimating a model (say with OLS), gretl's standard GUI behavior
after the user runs a diagnostic test via the Test menu in the model
window is to print the result in the model window below the estimation
output.
However, there seem to be some exceptions:
- CUSUMSQ
- Nonlinearity/BDS
(and possibly others that only affect panels or so).
Is there a special reason for this, or simply an oversight?
thanks

about "auto" argument setting with numeric meta type
by Sven Schreiber
Hi, looking at the not-too-old (two years?) possibility of indicating an
automatic function argument value, there's a little hiccup in
combination with the also new numeric thing:
<hansl>
function void hey_num(numeric ho[auto]) # error
eval (exists(ho) ? ho : "nope")
end function
</hansl>
Notice the error already appears at the function definition, no need to
call it.
This is of course a very special thing, I'm not even sure I expected it
to work. On the other hand, "numeric" could be a matrix or series, and
for those types it is supported. (For scalars, it's not directly
supported AFAIK, because there's the traditional way of specifying an
automatic default value.)
thanks
