Is there anything useful on stderr?

Is this on a Mac, or what? Your script (plus --send-data) works
fine on Linux and Windows here.

Phillips-Perron Test
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl Community,
I'm trying to use R inside a Gretl script in order to perform the
Phillips-Perron test. Please take a look at my script:
*open australia.gdt
foreign language=R
testedvar <- gretldata[,"lpau"]
PP.test(testedvar)
end foreign*
With this script I've got the following error:
*Error executing script: halting
> end foreign*
Does anyone has a clue for what's going wrong?
Best regards,

Thanks. I can confirm the segfault, and now that I have an example
of the problem this should be fixed fairly quickly.

GARCH, Forecasting
by Alejandro Mosiño
Hello everyone,
Maybe i was not too much specific last time:
I have a variable "y" that follows a GARCH(1,1) process. Then, i Gretl i
type:
garch 1 1 ; y const
Then i got the result and forecasting the out-of-sample values of y can
be done in the usual way. However, i'm interested in forecasting the
out-of-sample variance. I don't know if such a function exists in Gretl.
Thanks in advance,
Alejandro
Hello,
How can we get the out-of-sample volatility / variance forecasts of a
GARCH model?
Thank you,

It's possible that the problem you've found is fixed in CVS. If
you could send me a copy of the script you're using I'll run some
tests. Thanks.

Segmentation fault when a loop is nested in another loop in progressive mode: a bug?
by Giuseppe Vittucci
Dear all
I use Gretl 1.9.3 running on Ubuntu 10.04.
To calculate some bootstrapped confidence intervals with pairs bootstrap
I used the loop in progressive mode and the "dataset resample" command.
All works fine if I do not use (simple) loops nested in the first one.
When instead I do that, Gretl unexpectedly quits with a "Segmentation
fault" error.
A bug?
See you

The currently canonical test suite seems to be TestU01, devised by
P. L'Ecuyer and R. Simard. See
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~simardr/testu01/tu01.html
The elements of the test are derived from various sources,
including several from Donald Knuth of TeX fame.

The virtue of Jack's version -- though it's a couple of lines
longer -- is that it points up the fact that most of the
calculation is already done in $sigma, the covariance matrix,
which just has to be converted to correlation form.

Or:
open australia.gdt
var 4 lpus le lpau
matrix MC = mcorr($uhat)
print MC
