[Gretl-devel] transitory components

Hi, here's a prototype of the function package that does what I presented at the conference. I think I have finally managed to add enough 'smpl' commands here and there such that it should work for full-sample and sub-sampled datasets. This does not (yet) use bundles, but it still requires a very recent cvs build / snapshot (e.g. due to the clash with the formerly allowed smpl short-form options). Also, I think some parts could be simplified using the recent $vecGamma accessor, but as it works the way it is now I see no urgent reason to change that. Testing is welcome, please post comments on this list. Expect bugs, as I said this is a prototype, although there are no known issues. There are two public functions from which you get to choose: getBootout, getDeltaout. The first does two different bootstraps, the second uses the delta method. Actually, since the delta method is so fast I guess it could always be done and then, instead of choosing between the two public functions, one would instead get a tick box for deciding whether or not to run the (somewhat time-consuming) bootstrap as well. BTW, maybe there should be a pre-defined place to state the license of a function package. Or is that in the mysterious spec file or somewhere where I missed it? thanks, sven
