Not related with the release, I would like to have website in Portugues updated from gretl_portugues_pat.html. On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 8:28 PM, Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt; wrote:

Yes it is updated at: http://gretl.sourceforge.net/gretl_portugues.html But in most links, including on English main page it is going to http://gretl.sourceforge.net/pt.html (only from the portuguese Data Page is linked to the correct one) Please don't spend your time on this low priority task. Thanks. On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 10:50 PM, Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt; wrote:

Nevertheless... -- What about bug #195? https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/bugs/195/ (Quote from my own latest comment: "How can one retrieve the test results of the automatically printed tests (Breusch-Pagan idiosyncratic variance etc.) in a script way?") -- A part (or diversion) of bug #215: https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/bugs/215/ The new unbalanced option is only available via command line, not GUI; Allin's reply: "Should be added at some point. It's on my to-do list." -- Feature request #102 seems easy if there is a consensus, it would be just a matter of changing the default: https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/feature-requests/102/ (" make the "exact" unbalanced RE method of Swamy/Arora the default for gretl. Currently, it is an option. ") -- cross-reference in the built-in Choleski-VAR windows to the SVAR add-on. (Background: Some email discussion in July.) -- built-in Choleski-VAR: Enable saving IRF matrices, either as an array, or: "Or as a matrix, with columns suitably ordered." (Jack) -- hausman: "Why are there no $test and $pvalue accessors after the 'hausman' command?" I asked in http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2017-September/007965.html. (In that message there are also more fundamental questions about that command.) Then there is at least one documentation issue which might as well be fixed now -- this doesn't mean that only Allin would be the one to do it, of course. For example: -- Nerlove method (unbalanced panel, https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/feature-requests/103/): We might ask the KTTK user from the sourceforge tracker if she/he could contribute some paragraphs perhaps? thanks, sven

Actually I don't want to make it the default. I don't think the Baltagi-Chang modification is particularly helpful, and in light of that I'd rather keep our default in line with Stata's. http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/~cottrell/gretl/random-effects.pdf That's all for now; I'll try to get to Sven's other points later.

Am 23.10.2017 um 21:28 schrieb Allin Cottrell: One other minor thing I noted: In the window "check for addons" the left column is titled "package" instead of addon. In general I think there is a big confusion about what is a "package" and what is an "addon". I know it's documented alright, but for example I noticed that in some help files for packages they talk about an addon. This probably also stems from the fact that what is a package in Gretl is an addon in Eviews. Maybe we need to change the name addon to something else. (included package?, extension?, ...) cheers, sven
