Monte Carlo and restricted sample
by Maria Teresa Cabeza Gutes
Allin, I have installed Gretl again from the address you gave me, and
now it works perfectly. Thank you very much.

still montecarlo loop-restricted smpl
by Maria Teresa Cabeza Gutes
Allan and Ignacio, thanks for the replies. I am still unable to get the
expected number of observations for the btilda variable when I restrict
the sample within a Monte Carlo loop. (I was already opening the new
data file (test.gdt) but, as I said, it only gives me back one
observation back for btilda, even if I do the loop --progressive). (When
I do it without restricting the sample it works perfectly). I am working
with version 1.4.1 for Windows XP. What could be wrong ?
Thanks again,
Maite

Comments on W. Mixon's gretl site
by John Paravantis PhD
The site looks wonderful!
May I suggest that you also prepare a DOWNLOADABLE version of your site
(e.g. in Windows HTML HELP format) so that a user may refer to the
material OFFLINE?
Looking at the quality of gretl and the work of the gretl community, it
is indeed amazing that a program of such a caliber is offered as a
freeware!

still having trouble with monte carlo loop and restricted sample
by maite
Sorry, but I am still having trouble restricting the sample within a Monte
Carlo loop. I had already tried the loop --progressive option and it had
not worked. I tried again as suggested and still I only get one observation
for btilda. Any more suggestions ?

about the gnuplot command in gretl
by Sven Schreiber
Dear gretl people,
<preamble...>
I have been observing the development of gretl for some time now, and
last week I started to dig a little deeper. In my opinion it's very
nice, because it is 1. fairly intuitive, 2. cross-platform, 3. well
documented, 4. scriptable, 5. free. I think it really fills a gap in
the open-source statistics world as a data browser, quick-visualizer,
and manipulation tool. (So far I mostly use GiveWin for that, not liking
that it only runs on Windows.) Thanks to the developer(s?) for making
this program!
</preamble>
now for something completely different: I'm having problems with the
following gnuplot command (within gretl, of course):
gnuplot verteilf sortiert --with-impulses --suppress-fitted { set style
data steps; }
In the resulting plt file, the part in braces does not appear, although
according to the manual (Aug2005) it should. Is that a bug?
Secondly, if I use this one:
gnuplot verteilf sortiert { set style data steps; }
the part in braces appears in the plt file, but doesn't make any
difference to the visual output. I suspect that's because the
"steps"-setting is reverted in the plot command where it says "w points".
Is there any way around this limitation?
Thanks for your help!

Monte Carlo loop and restrcited sample
by maite
Dear all,
I was trying to generate samples of 50 observations in a Monte Carlo loop
and then just use the first 25 to estimate by OLS. I wrote these
instructions:
nulldata 50
genr x=100*uniform()
loop 1000
genr eps=3*normal()
genr y=5+2*x+eps
smpl (obs<26) --restrict
ols y const x
genr bhat=coeff(x)
store test.gdt bhat
endloop
But, when I run the program and open the test.gdt data file, I only get 1
observation of the variable bhat, instead of the 1000 I was supposed to get.
I have tried a thousand different things and I do not get right. Any hint?
