arima and info criteria
by Bob McCall
Greetings:
When calculating information criteria for arima models, Gretl seems to use k
+ 1 parameters
instead of k parameters.

bootstrapped skewness adjusted t test
by Md. Mohan Uddin
*Hi all..*
*
*
*Good day..*
*
*
*Is it possible to calculate bootstrapped skewness adjusted t test [**
suggested by Johnson (1978); also
**
proposed by Lyon, Barber, and Tsai (1999), 'Improved Methods for Tests
**
of Long-Run Abnormal Stock Returns', The Journal of Finance, Vol. 54,

No. 1, pp. 165-201
] for a skewed data in Gretl? If it is possible, how can I do this,
including the critical value estimation?

*Thank you in advance for the help.*

OK, now in CVS and snapshots you can use any discrete variable,
not just a 0/1 dummy, with gnuplot and the --dummy option.
In the same line of business I've added a --factorized option for
the boxplot command, and enhanced the GUI boxplot options (e.g.,
on right-clicking a variable and selecting Boxplot).

I think this should now be fixed in CVS.

In principle,
w = (z==1)? y : -1/0
However, you can't actually represent infinities in gretl: the
expression "-1/0" will produce a missing value (NA).

how to define a variable
by Qi Shi
hi
There are three variables y,x.and z in my data, in which z is a dummy. I would like to define a new variable w: if z=1, w=y; otherwise w=-infinity.
What is the scripts? thanks!

Re: [Gretl-users] New mailing list?
by MICHAEL BOLDIN
I was part of asking about making new mailing list but after reading
the replies and recalling my experiences running such a list at one
time, it is probably not worthwhile. If it becomes popular because
experienced GRETL users do respond we will surely encourage a lot of:
'do my econometrics homework for me' (as someone else points out) or
worse: 'how do I apply a technique for which I have no idea about how
it works but want to use it for my dissertation'. Many of the
remainder are likely to be naive and show the person asking the
questions did not bother to first look in their econometrics textbook
Most important: Anyone motivated to make it work (inside or outside
of the GRETL community) could easily start such a list independently
of GRETL. A Google
group is easy to set up. And if Allin, Sven, Jack and others involved
in development and enhancements to GRETL were to encourage something
linked to GRETL, the value added is unlikely to exceed the
distraction.
So I change my vote to letting things stand as they are-- everyone
seeing a few econometrics questions related to GREL every once in a
while.
However, I think an item in the GRETL Help menu for 'Check and use
the GRETL developers listserve' would be a worthwhile addition.
Instead of making it a direct 'Send question to listserve' I suggest
encouraging new users to search the listserve first by simply pointing
to http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel and adding the
ground rules to this page.

Stacking Database
by Iuri Queiroz
Hi, i'm from Brasil and recently discovered the GRETL in order to accomplish
my masters degree.
Unfortunetly, given the original data lenght and organization, the only way
i found to index and extract that to my database was in that manner:
State1
State2
State3

Use the "lags" button in the model specification window.
If you want a lag to show up as a variable in its own right,
define it manually, as in
lag1x = x(-1)

hi
when i define a lagged variable of one variable, say "x", it hides in
x, it does not exist in the regression panel. what can i do to fix
it?
thanks!
