I think this could be a great start, there are also other
open source example to leverage off - the BIMETS package in R, which is
leaps and bounds better than what I have done, and Ray Fair's FORTAN
code.
I've just noticed that one of the authors of BIMETS is Andrea Luciani, who
uses gretl, was very favourably inclined towards the project and would
probably help us out to some extent (not by writing any code, but by
giving us advice on what to do and how). If you decide to get started on
this, I can put the two of you in touch with one another.
In any case, I think this would be a great addition to GRETL, and
I'd love to start developing it. Has anyone else embarked on this
journey? Could we potentially collaborate?
Sven was interested in this some time ago, perhaps he still is.
I'm 100% across the programming in GRETL/HANSL, but I am assuming
that
one would start by defining a model object that has some procedures,
like simulate etc. Does HANSL support OOP?
No; the standard way in Hansl is to pack stuff into bundles and the write
functions that operate on them.
