There is no built-in function to do this, but you can compute a
one-step ahead forecast of the variance from the model data, as
hown in the following example script.
<script>
open b-g.gdt
garch 1 1 ; Y
series e = $uhat
series h = $h
dataset addobs 10
a0 = $coeff[2]
a1 = $coeff[3]
b1 = $coeff[4]
series hfc = h
# set future errors to their expectation
e = misszero(e)
# forecast the variance
hfc = a0 + a1 * e(-1)^2 + b1 * hfc(-1)
smpl 1970 ;
print e h hfc --byobs
</script>

Deterministic trend in VAR
by Muheed Jamaldeen
Hi all,
Just a general VAR related question. When is it appropriate to include
a deterministic time trend in the reduced form VAR? Visually some of the
data series (not all) look like they have trending properties. In any case,
does the inclusion of the time trend matter if the process is stable and
therefore stationary (i.e. the polynomial defined by the determinant of the
autoregressive operator has no roots in and on the complex unit circle)
without the time trend term. Other than unit root tests, is there a better
way to test whether the underlying data generating process has a stochastic
or deterministic process?
I am mainly interested in the impulse responses.
Cheers,
Mj

Error 12 calling gretl_read_native_data
by Filippo Bonsignori
Hello gretl users!
I'm trying to open a ".gdt" file calling gretl_read_native_data (system
info's: "gretl 1.9.6 - build date 2011-10-17" on "Windows 7 Ultimate -
Service Pack 1") from a C# class: the result is always an error code 12 (it
seems that something is wrong into the file path name ...).
Follows a significant excerpt of my code
[Start C# code]
...
IntPtr dset;
[DllImport(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\gretl\libgretl.dll")]
internal static extern void libgretl_init();
[DllImport(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\gretl\libgretl.dll")]
internal static extern IntPtr create_new_dataset(IntPtr pZ, int nvar, int
nobs, int markers);
[DllImport(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\gretl\libgretl.dll", CharSet =
CharSet.Unicode)]
internal static extern int gretl_read_native_data(string fname, IntPtr
pdset);
...
int err;
string fname = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\gretl\data\misc\australia.gdt";
libgretl_init();
dset = datainfo_new();
err = gretl_read_native_data(fname, dset);
...
[End C# code]
Where am I wrong?
Regards, Filippo.

PROBLEMAS_CON_GRETL
by Hebert Suárez Cahuana
Estimados:
Tengo un problema recurrente que no tenía con las versiones anteriores a la
1.9.6, consiste en que instalo y ejecuto la versión 1.9.7 y no puedo abrir
un archivo puesto que el programa se cierra, con el siguiente mensaje en la
consola:
hebert@hebert-desktop:~$ gretl
Instrucción ilegal
hebert@hebert-desktop:~$
Me recomendaron instalar con la opción
./configure --disable-sse2
make
make check
make install
Es un problema que inutiliza por completo el programa, utilizo el ubuntu
10.04.
Les agradecería mucho si me ayudaran a solucionar este problema.

VAR model and forecast
by alexkakashi＠libero.it
Hi,
I have two questions about the parameters of the VAR models. Let us (X,Y) a
bivariate time series and consider a VAR(1). I use
system method=sur
equation X const X(-1) Y(-1)
equation Y const X(-1) Y(-1)
end system
I have two questions. The first: can I save the parameter of X(-1) of the
first equation? I should use it in a bootstrap procedure.
The second: I'd like forecast the variables X, so I have used the
fcast --out-of-sample --static X
Can I save this forecasts in a new variable?
Thanks.
Best regards.

panel plots
by Leon Unger
Hi there,
the (relatively) new panel plots are a great means!
I have some questions about them:
- is it possible to use script commands to generate them? (besides
boxplots)
- at least for first option plotting two or more 'series' in one
diagram would be interesting, too. What do you think?
Best
