Re: [Gretl-devel] A small, pedantic gripe about "models" in gretl
It's interesting how different languages
speakers treat "model".
My own language has no articles and I
perceive "model" as "a model".
Of course, "ols" is not a model, but
"ols regression" is.
I think it's better to ask Gretl team rather than
changing menus every time an instructor
meets a stubborn student.
For, example, currently I don't know the logic
behind placing "arima..... --x-12-arima" under "model"
and X-12-ARIMA under "variable".
But, certainly, Gretl team DO know, and, having the time,
could inform me. Then I could pass the answer to "children".

I'm going to keep "Modello" in Italian, as shorthand for
"Specificazione e
stima di un modello", unless my fellow mother-tongue speakers convince me
otherwise.
