by denis joubert
Hello,
lad function in libgretl(cvs) seems to doesn't work.
In the gui it works(release 1.9.0) with the same datas.
it output me many :

gretl api quantreg
by denis joubert
Hello Allin,
I take this from the gretl-api documentations of your website but there is
no documentations for "parms"
*quantreg ()
MODEL quantreg (const char *parm,
const int *list,
double ***pZ,
DATAINFO *pdinfo,
gretlopt opt,
PRN *prn);
Estimate the model given in list using the method of quantile regression.
parm :
list : model specification: dependent var and regressors.
pZ : pointer to data array.
pdinfo : information on the data set.
opt :
prn :
Returns : a MODEL struct, containing the estimates.
*Perhaps the documentations from CVS will be better but i get this when
trying to generate it :

troubles with shared libraries under cygwin
by denis joubert
Hi Allin,
sorry, i was a bit busy on other things.
I joined the log. but it failed on gtksourceview (because i don't have
this library and don't know where i can find it, fortunatly the libs
module is built before it)
what I have done for the logs :
> cvs checkout gretl
> make distclean
> configure --prefix=/usr
> make > logs 1>&2

Windows 7 and 64 bit system
by Lawrence Chisesi
Hello, I have just purchased a new home PC which came with windows 7
and an intel 64 bit CPU. I am pretty experienced with GRETL, been
running it on my 32 bit laptop for some time. I downloaded the May 2
version onto my new system and I can load a file in from Excel, but
when I do something, like sort by a field, it crashes without any real
error message. Is there anything I need to do to get it working on
this system? Thanks for your help

Export data & Decimal point
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl community,
When I try to export some data to a .csv file (using the following menu
path File -> Export data -> CSV) I get "." as the decimal point instead of
",". I'm using a Mac with the pt_BR.UTF-8. In the Gretl's preferences menu,
the option "Use locale setting for decimal point" is checked.
How can I fix this behavior?
Best regards,

VAR: GUI improvements
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl Team,
I would like to give 2 suggestions that I think could make VAR estimations
easier (at least for the GUI users :).
In the VAR model window, under "Tests -> Autocorrelation", it would be great
if we could have a more "complete" test result. Please, take a look at this
example: using "australia.gdt" data and estimating a VAR(1) model with the
variables "le", "lpus", and "lpau" (I'd attached a Gretl session file) we
get the following output:
Equation 1:
Ljung-Box Q' = 3.56914 with p-value = P(Chi-square(4) > 3.56914) = 0.467
Equation 2:
Ljung-Box Q' = 6.00246 with p-value = P(Chi-square(4) > 6.00246) = 0.199
Equation 3:
Ljung-Box Q' = 33.5337 with p-value = P(Chi-square(4) > 33.5337) = 9.29e-07
I think it would be better if Gretl could present not only the lag number 4,
but all the lags requested by the user (just like it does in an OLS
estimation - "Graphs -> Residual correlogram"):
LAG ACF PACF Q-stat. [p-value]
1 -0.0141 -0.0141 0.0157 [0.900]
2 -0.0333 -0.0335 0.1047 [0.949]
3 0.1832 0.1825 2.8302 [0.419]
4 -0.0947 -0.0949 3.5691 [0.467]
5 0.0827 0.0987 4.1402 [0.529]
6 0.0553 0.0139 4.3989 [0.623]
7 -0.1578 -0.1228 6.5371 [0.479]
8 0.0775 0.0465 7.0605 [0.530]
9 0.0920 0.0878 7.8091 [0.553]
10 -0.1368 -0.0960 9.4905 [0.486]
11 0.0357 -0.0034 9.6066 [0.566]
12 -0.0637 -0.0736 9.9830 [0.617]
The second suggestion is related to the graphs options (in the VAR model
window, "Graphs"). Why don't we put the residual correlogram option? ;-)
Thanks in advance for your attention,

VAR: Normality test
by Henrique Andrade
Dear List Members,
Could you suggest me some references about the Doornik-Hansen normality test
in a VAR model (VAR model window, "Tests -> Normality of residuals")? I
would like to know how to interpret it (the null hypothesis is the
normality?) and I would like to know the difference between it and the
single equation normality test.
Best regards,
Henrique C. de Andrade

VAR: Robust standard errors
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl Users,
Sorry for the silly question, but how can we use HAC standard errors in a
VAR estimation? Why does Gretl give us the HC1 variant?
Thnaks in advance,

Export data & Decimal point : the XP case
by Franck Nadaud
Dear GRETL folk, greetings from Paris !
Let me susggest how i found a (not so yet) definitive answer to this problem:
as you may know, in Latin countries of old europe, the decimal separator is
the comma, but in XP you can modify the default national parameters: you can
change all signs as you see fit. So, long ago I changed the decimal to point.
So that by default I can always read any file fished from everywhere.
I strongly agree with Jack's point of view. Note that INSEE in France diffuses
all (well, most) of its files with point decimal separator, this is because (i
guess) most are processed in SAS.
cheers
Farnck

How can I do a rolling estimation in Gretl? There is a specific command to do
it? Thanks
