Hi,
I'm observing something strange working with the grunfeld.gdt sample
datafile in the GUI. This is with the latest Windows snapshot. The
dataset has units 1 to 10, and time periods 1935 through 1954, so T = 20
(fully balanced).
I go to Sample / Set range; it shows N=10, T=20, NT=200. OK.
I click on the "down" arrow next to the end period 1954, to leave out
the last year. The number jumps to 1953 alright, but now it says T=18
(two down). When I click on "up" to get back to 1954, then T=19 allegedly.
Next, different but related problem (having freshly reloaded the
dataset): in the sample range setter, I now click "up" next to the
_starting_ period 1935 to get rid of the first time period. It changes
to 1936, but the count T=20 doesn't change. And after clicking "OK" the
sample isn't changed.
Finally, in the console I type "smpl year > 1935 --restrict --time"
without having checked the required syntax, and gretl crashes on me. (I
now know it's not correct; instead "smpl 1936 1954 --time" works OK.)
thanks
