Need informations
by Leonardo Grattini
Hello,
my name is Leonardo. I need your help: i have a macbook pro. The version that i
have is Mac OS X 10.6.4.
I'd like to install Gretl, when i download the .dmg application and i try to
open it, that produces an error with the apple x11.
I tried to download the apple x11 from internet, but when i'm going to install
the application it says that i have just installed the recent apple x11 on
my Mac.
Anybody can help me?
Thank you all.
Bye.

by Matteo Chinazzi
I got it at Bertinoro's summer school.
Unfortunately, I do not have with me the link they gave us to download the
gig.gfn file.
In my usb pen I was able to find just the gig.gfn, maybe the gig.pdf was in
the website but here I do not have the URL.
Do you have an alternative link from where I can get the document?
Thanks a lot,
Matteo

garchTFit estimation failed
by Matteo Chinazzi
Dear list members,
do you have any idea about this error message using garchTFit method?
Model: GARCH(1,1) [Bollerslev] (Student's t)
Sample size: 661 observations, VCV method: Robust
*************************************************
* ESTIMATION FAILED (Sorry!) *
* Error code = 33 *
*************************************************
Is there any documentation for the package gig.gfn?

Re: [Gretl-users] Using Gretl API for C++ Program
by Joel Bycraft
Thanks for this, extremely helpful. I am getting this to work with lsq first and then I'll tackle arma.
I am approaching the library in this way as I need to run estimation on a window of data, and then increment forward throughout a time series period, with a moving window. So, for each period t, I need to estmate the residuals from the previous X days, based on a regression from the same previous x days. On day t+1 is another regression, etc.
If you have a preferred way for me to do this, certainly let me know. Perhaps I should look into writing scripts and using issuing gretlcli commands, as it's a batch-like process.
I have it all working with OLS at the moment, I can get residuals and it matches gretl. The only thing missing is the coefficients of the constant and independent variable. Having a working OLS model, these are the additional pieces I added (same result using matrix):
gretl_vector *coeff=NULL; // same results using gretl_matrix
/ * model runs */
coeff = gretl_model_get_matrix(model, M_COEFF, errcode)
The function returns NULL, unfortunately, with a very large error code. Is a specific option required to get this matrix return? The scalar M_NCOEFF returns 2 as expected.
This is hopefully the last thing I need. Thanks!
Joel

Sorry this has taken a while.
For general information on how gretl "lists" work see the "Lists"
sub-section of the libgretl API docs (under the "Utilities"
heading). Note that I've done quite a bit of work on these docs
lately, though they're still very much incomplete and are unlikely
to be completed any time soon. http://gretl.sourceforge.net/API/

You should refer to the help entry for the "arima" command in
gretl to understand this. The specification of the arma list is
given in detail there. (In general, where the API docs are obscure
on a given function, and that function directly implements a gretl
command, that's what you'll have to do.)
Although there are other ways of doing this, for the present
you're probably best constructing the list argument for arma by
composing a string as per the help on arima, then calling
gretl_list_from_string to convert it to an actual "list".
For example:
<C-code>
const char *arma_spec = "1 2 ; 5";
int err = 0;
int *list = gretl_list_from_string(arma_spec, &err);
/* if err == 0, use the list ... */
free(list); /* once you're finished with it */
</C-code>
In this example the AR order is 1, the MA order is 2, and
the dependent variable is at position 5 in the "Z" data array.
To add seasonal terms, again look at the "arima" help.
> also the data array for arma() is const double, why is that

The assumption in libgretl is that a two-dimensional data array Z
(of type double **) lives somewhere in the calling program. With
some libgretl functions it is sufficient to pass Z as an argument
result = some_gretl_func(..., Z, ...);
but with others you must pass its address:
result = some_other_func(..., &Z, ...);
The functions that require the address of Z are ones that may
resize the Z array under some conditions: lsq is one such (it may
add auxiliary series to the data array temporarily). The arma
function, on the other hand, never resizes Z so it doesn't require
the address.
Note that whenever you see "***pZ" as a libgretl function
parameter, the corresponding argument should be "&Z". (Well,of
course you can call "Z" anything you like in your own program.)
Just out of interest, do you have a specific reason to do ARMA
modeling "the hard way", using libgretl yourself, rather than
using gretl?

pergm and fractint
by Allin Cottrell
Following some recent discussion here, I have now factored testing
for fractional integration out of the "pergm" command and provided
better and more visible access via a new command, "fractint".
The fractint command uses the Local Whittle Estimator by default
but has an option to use GPH. It supports the $test and $pvalue
accessors, and has a --quiet option.
The GUI menu items have been reorganized correspondingly. This is
in CVS and snapshots. Thanks to Javier G for spotting some
breakage, and to Sven S for suggesting that we clean up the
previous muddle!

creating a dummy variable
by Data Analytics Corp.
Hi,
I have a time series data set that ranges from 1977Q1 to 2009Q4. I want
to create a dummy variable for the recession quarters (1980Q1 - 1980Q3,
1981Q3 - 1982Q4, etc.) as defined by the NBER. How do I do this in Gretl?
Thanks,
Walt

About GJR-garchm and gig
by yinung＠Gmail
Dear all
I wrote a gretl package named GJR-garchm (GJR GARCH in mean). It works ok
since gretl 1.8.6.
However, with gretl 1.9.1, after executing "GJR-garchm" download from the
server, I got two warnings:
Warning: pow: Numerical result out of range
Warning: pow: Numerical result out of range
Is there anything wrong? Or what does the message mean?
By the way, as I can recall, gig (garch in gretl, a packages for estimating
models of GARCH family) works great since ver. 1.8.6. But it is no working
anymore in gretl 1.9.1. Does anyone have a clue?

Re: [Gretl-users] Using Gretl API for C++ Program

I have pkgconfig installed, I had to update the env variable but I did get the flags. So xcode uses this compile line

"libgretl_cleanup()", referenced from:

specifically I added -L/opt/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lgretl-1.0 -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -liconv -lm based on the result from pkgconfig. And I have confirmed libgretl-1.0.0.dylib is in /usr/local/lib

When I build gretl under ubuntu, after updating cvs and ./configure

I am not an expert, nor I have Access 2007.

That error happened when Gretl tried to open the database, but the driver did not succeeded.
