Re: [Gretl-devel] CVS news

My personal needs have been mostly covered by gretl since the big leap forward in (restricted) cointegration analysis and also the SVAR package (although I confess I haven't had to use the latter for serious work yet). Plus the cointegration stability test package that Andreas wrote on my request. OTOH there is still special functionality in Jmulti: * Smooth transition models (STAR) -- anybody knows where to find those in other software (just out of curiosity, no real need yet) * unit root tests with trend breaks (probably in CATS) * bivariate GARCH, IIRC (I don't think this is covered by gretl packages like gig, no? -- should be in recent Eviews versions I think, and I guess R?) Wasn't it the case that Jmulti had actually adopted some Gauss file format? If so, one could actually ask the question why gretl hasn't advertised its import capability of Gauss files, but not sure if it's true. -sven
