Phillips-Perron test
by Irwin, James R
Hello. Is the Phillips-Perron test for a unit root available in Gretl?
Or is using R still the best option? (as described in the Tue Dec 15,
[Gretl-users] "Perron test for unit roots in GRETL") Thanks -- jim

Not quite the perfect answer, but if you have R installed, you can do:
*file menu -> script files -> new script -> R script
*and type (only the inner two lines ;-):
<R-script>
testedvar <- gretldata[,"yourvarname"]
PP.test(testedvar)
</R-script>

Re: [Gretl-users] genr dummy on annual data
by artur bala
Thanx Ignacio,
Indeed, your script works fine whatever the time series frequency may be.
That points out another question: why is the same script "2005:01")> working in monthly and quaterly data but failing in annual data ? As long as we deal with time series it should result to the same behavior regardless of the frequency.

genr dummy on annual data
by artur bala
Hello,
On an annual dataset spanning from 1970 to 2010, I want to create a
dummy valid from 2005 and on.
I tried the following command line :
* genr D = (t > "2005")*
but the newly created variable D has zeros only. Same result through the
GUI.
Note that this script does work fine for a monthly dataset (let's say
*genr D = (t > "2005:01")*).
best,

AR roots?
by Skipper Seabold
All,
I was playing around and fitting an AR(2) model using the yearly
sunspots data provided by R data(sunspots), actually with more years
than in the R default dataset, and I was curious as to how the roots
of the AR coefficients are computed in gretl?
When I run
arima 2 0 0 ; SUNACTIVITY --conditional
I get a constant and phi_1 = 1.39181 and phi_2 = -.690287
IIUC, the roots to check for stability should be the solution to the
characteristic polynomial, which is in this case, X^2 - 1.39181 * X +
.690287. Using MATLAB's (or NumPy's) roots function, I find that the
roots of this equation are both
0.69590262389467661+0.45387935182766354j
But gretl says they are both 1.0081-.6575j, which is not a root of the
above. Am I misunderstanding something? If so, could someone point
to a reference?
Cheers,
Skipper
PS. I can provide the data if needed.

weird behavior using the --full option...
by Artur T.
Hi,
Use a script and run the following example:
--------------------------
vecm 2 2 X
restrict
.
.
end restrict
restrict --full
.
.
end restrict
restrict
.
.
end restrict
--------------------------
Normally the script should continue without errors until the last
restriction is tested. But adding the "-full" option for the second
restriction results in no proper testing for the third case any more.
Every time one has to reestimate the model again before one can test the
third restriction. Is this programmed that way on purpose?
Best,
Artur

Does anybody know a free available software to conduct bootstrap LR test?
by Artur T.
Hello gretl community,
I am just working on a VECM and try to impose long-run restrictions on
beta. In order to test for the over-identifying restrictions I would
like to apply a bootstrap LR test to overcome the small sample bias issue.
I am wondered whether anybody of you knows an available free software
which can handle this issue? Unfortunately, I did not find anything.
Thanks in advance!

About gnuplot of the gretl in Traditional Chinese version
by yinung＠Gmail
Dear Allin
I found that if I use a shorter subsample, for example, running the
following script
open djclose
smpl 1988/01/04 1989/12/29
gf1 <- gnuplot djclose --time-series --output=display --with-lines
gf1.show
By examining the gnuplot command, it seems ok as after editing the gnuplot
command:
set xtics (....)
After the "set xtics" command, there are some Chinese characters which look
correct. However, these Chinese characters are not appropriately shown in
the graph windows. I realize that this might be caused by the translation of
the GNUPLOT.
Do you have any suggestions?
Best wishes

Multivariate infomation criteria
by Torben Schmith
How are information criteria (e.g. AIC) calculated for VAR and VECM? For
univariate models, the formula is given on page 151 in the
documentation, but what about multivariate models? I can’t find any
documentation in the manual.
Cheers, Torben Schmith
