If you have a series y containing just 1s and 2s, and you want the
1s to become zeros and the 2s to become 1s then just subtract 1:
y -= 1
Take a look at the "dummify" command for more complex recoding
needs.

Recode variable
by Laurent Schuermans
Dear all,
In econometric classen, we use gretl along with the Principles of
Econometrics handbook. Now we have to write a paper and do research about a
subject of own interest while using gretl.
The problem however is that I don't know how to recode variables in gretl. I
have a bunch of dichotomious variables with categories 1 and 2 that I want
to recode to 0 and 1, which is easier for interpretation, but I don't know
how to do this.
Can somebody help me out?
Kind Regards,

The test available in gretl is indeed Breusch-Godfrey. However,
the test statistic that we report first in relation to this test
is Kiviet's LMF, which has better small-sample properties that
TR^2.

Also, in the graphical interface after estimating a model, see
"Autocorrelation" under the tests menu.

define range
by Bernadette Scully
Hello
Using the menu driven regression page, a pop up question asked for the
forecast range. I entered a range which was fine and then wished to
lengthen the range, which it did not allow. Can anyone direct me to the
drop down menu that allows the range to be extended. I've tried
Forecast - range boxes are there but not changeable.
Grateful for help, Bernadette

Under /Model/Time series. For this to be active your data have to
be recognized as time series. If that's not the case, use the
menu item /Data/Dataset structure.

cochrane orcutt/Prais-winsten models
by Samrat Sanyal
Gretl users,
I have another query.Is there a way out to execute a cochrane
orcutt/Prais-winsten model in gretl? I basically have to run a regression
where i have a financial time series variable dependent on lagged financial
variables.

Calculating Critical Values of Statistical Distributions
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl Community,
Is there a way to calculate critical values of the t statistic using the
command line interface? I'm asking this because I would like to insert this
kind of calculation inside some scripts.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I will just wait till this
makes the next stable version then. Thanks again.
