Hello,
with 1.7.6rc2 I experience the following minor flaws. The timing of this report is purely
coincidental, I'm not a big fan of last-minute fixes without proper testing, so
I'm not pushing this to be fixed before 1.7.6.
1) Clicking ok in the dialog window for generating random variables adds the specified
variable, but doesn't close the window. Actually I can imagine that this is a feature,
not a bug, but just in case it's not...
2) With panel --random-effects estimation the Hausman test of RE vs. FE isn't printed
when the test statistic becomes negative. From what I recall of the translated strings,
there used to be a warning message instead. I didn't agree with the content of that
warning message, but whatever one thinks of those negative statistics, gretl shouldn't
just silently ignore them and leave the user wondering why no test output is shown.
3) And finally a related feature request: I think $hausman should not only access the
endogeneity tests after tsls, but should also retrieve the Hausman test after
--random-effects.
thanks,
sven
