Re: [Gretl-devel] INFO: $obsmicro refers to day instead of week for weekly series

Dear all,
for a weekly data set, the accessor $obsmicro returns the day instead
of the week.
Yes, that is according to the spec (=expected).
I would have expected that for this frequency the
"micro"-frequency
should refer to the calendar week.
Well, apart from the fact that it is documented (see above), the ISO
date format and general usage has year/month/day. So week would be
another animal.
I know in Germany we have these "KW" (calendar week) numbers, but I'm
not sure if something like this is usual internationally.
Obviously one could write a hansl function to count and produce the week
numbers. Perhaps by cumulating the output of the seasonals() function or
something. But of course that's more complicated.
cheers,
