Prof. Cottrell:

Sorry, that was me trying to figure it out how to upload several packages. It was not my intention to be a burden. It will not happen again. Please, excuse my ignorance: Under what circumstances one could login to upload a package?

I assumed so, as you just have mentioned.  I used Bartlett's test.

I read a comment from someone who said gretl is feasible only for learning econometrics but that in real life Stata or SAS are much better. I disagree with that. Even if Stata is  more powerful than gretl, gretl is more intuitive than Stata. What are your thoughts about this?

Have a Happy New Year.

Ivan

Ivan, you (or somebody using your login to the gretl package upload
site) has been busy uploading lots of packages written by other
people and already published on the server, as if they were new
submissions. This is a nuisance and waste of time for the gretl
team. If you have been doing this, please stop. If it wasn't you,
please to try find out who's using your login.

An autocorrelation test is not about homogeneity of variance, it's
about serial correlation of the error term, which is generally not
meaningful in the context of cross-sectional data. If you want to
test for homogeneity of variance you have a number of
heteroskedasticity tests available, for both cross-section and time
series data.
