Ah, but wait a minute: Julia requires that the inputs be transposed (relative to our implementation) and I for one don't like that much. In gretl each row of X and Y is an observation and each column a dimension, so the number of columns must match. In Julia it's the number of rows that must match, so implicitly we have observations in columns, dimensions in rows.
