Hi,
I was looking for a way to apply moving average filters to a time series.
To my understanding there isn't a built-in function in gretl, so I would
like
to know whether some user has already developed it.
If not, I think I will write a user function (I need it to show its
properties to my students).
In this case, I would like to know whether is available the convolution
function in gretl,
which is very helpful to combine filters. Any suggestion is obviously
welcome!
Thanks a lot.

None of these are in gretl yet. However, in the CVS version you have the
two matrix functions fft and ffti, that can be useful if you plan to
write a function, since convolutions are easy to compute via the Discrete
Fourier Transform.
It would be quite easy to add to the builtin functions something like
y = convolve(x1,x2)
where x1 and x2 are both series. The outcome would be a series with
y_t = \sum_{i=1}^n x1_{t} x2 _{t-i}
Would that be useful enough to justify another genr addition?

Duh! That should be
y_t = \sum_{i=0}^n x1_{i} x2_{t-i}
Sorry.

Some MA filters are under the /Variable/filters menu.
I would also like to have a more general MA filter, for example a command that
allows to do (in Latex language)
X_t= (1-\theta_1 L-\theta_2 L^2) Y_t
and (the convolution filter)
X_t = Y_t / (1-\theta_1 L -\theta_2 L^2)
