[Gretl-devel] some 'coint' interface details (and questions)

Hi, I'm looking at the 'coint' (Engle-Granger test) command and corresponding GUI interface more closely right now and have a couple of questions. - In a list message in 2013 Allin wrote that the test-down option now has "MAIC" by default, and "MBIC" also exists. There is nothing in the documentation about it, pointing to the adf command which talks about "AIC" and "BIC" instead. So is that information obsolete, or what is the situation? BTW, in the GUI there is no way to influence the test down method. - Related to the test-down thing: In the coint output the number of finally included lagged differences is very much hidden. While the max lag order is printed out, the optimal lag order AFAICS is only implicitly given as the numerator d.o.f. in the corresponding F-test. I suggest that this is made as explicit as in the adf output. - adf and coint2 have a --seasonals option, but 'coint' doesn't, according to the doc and the missing GUI item. Any particular reason why? That's it so far. Thanks! Sven
