What's the model specification? Does it include any variables other
than the dependent?
Without any deeper meaning and just by coincidence, I was regressing LRY
from the denmark dataset on LRM(-3) -- not LRM(-1 to -3).
I re-checked that when I add just two new obs until 1988:1 or so, gretl
still says no obs available for forecasting. LRM_3 should be available
until 1988:2 automatically.
If "addobs" is going to help, you should get a dialog
offering to add
some observations when you access the forecast menu item.
That's not what I'm seeing in this case.
thanks
