Seriously? I would fail bitterly, thank God I already have an access
account.
Seems to me anyone serious about gretl knows there's a change log
online (linked on the main gretl page) and can easily search through
it via their browser to find the earliest reference to midasreg. I
suppose we could insert a link to the change log in that question
but I don't think that should really be necessary.
And question number 1 is ill-posed I think, sigma isn't defined.
Conventionally, in the context of a regression, sigma^2 is the
variance of the error term unless otherwise specified, no?
