Hi Allin and everybody who's interested,
here are some first comments about the new tdisagg function, as
described in chapter 9 of the current version (in git) of the gretl user
guide:
Thanks, Sven.
- mention Di Fonzo's affiliation
OK, will do.
- I don't find the money stock argument entirely convincing: One
may
well want to take the average stocks in a quarter instead of only the
final value.
That could be. But the general point is that disaggregation must
respect the method of aggregation, whatever it may be.
- Section 9.9 / Examples: Not clear to me why examples are online
(only). Isn't the standard way in gretl to ship the example scripts?
For an addon, yes. But tdisagg isn't an addon. I'm open to
suggestions for what to do with the example scripts.
- _() is used but is still not documented (I think)
It's now documented under defbundle().
- It should be mentioned that chowlin existed before and is now
superseded.
OK, will do.
I've only responded to some of Sven's comments; I'll try to get to
others soon.
