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>

skewness and kurtosis
by Annaert Jan
I know there are functions to compute the mean, median, minimum, maximum and standard deviation for a series. I also know that using the summary command, skewness and excess-kurtosis are also computed. Is there an easy way to capture these last two statistics (I need them for further processing)? Of course, I could write a short function to do this, but as they are already available in Gretl in the summary command…
Thanks,
Jan Annaert

Fixed effects forecast
by Ricardo Gonçalves Silva
Hi,
Can Gretl forecast 1 to 3 periods ahead an estimated panel data(fixed-effects with no iterations) model?

Help with GIG package
by cociuba
Deal Gretl Community,
I am trying to replicate the examples in Principles of
Econometrics,pg.373, BYD example, using Garch in Gretl (GIG). I was able
to reproduce those result with Lee Adkins scripts but I cant do the same
using GIG.
My questions are:
- what I'm suppose to put in mean and variance regressors list to obtain
the following models:
TGARCG(1,1) and Garch in Mean.
- are there any other manual or examples using GIG gui beside those
found on Ricardo Lucchetti's home page.
Thank you for your help.

Impulse responses, when working from a script
by amaryl
Dear all,
I have two and a half questions regarding impulse responses, when the
VAR is executed from a script.
First, is there a possibility to access the numerical values of the
impulse responses directly (the values that are printed when the
--impulse-response flag is set)? I would like to have them as a matrix
or something for further processing.
Incidentally, is there a possibility to print the numerical values of
the bootstrap confidence intervals?
Second, how can I access the "graph generator" for impulse responses,
which is in the menu of the model window of a VAR, when I am working
from a script?
Thanks in advance!

yrange of gnuplot with scalar
by Federico Lampis UC3M
Hi,
is it possible to use some scalar in the commands of gnuplot? I have in
my funcion a graph and it seems that gnuplot does not allow to put
scalar in the yrange and xrange parameter:
gnuplot lrc lrs otv --with-lines --output=display --single-yaxis { set
title 'Confidence interval for Threshold'; set yrange [0:40]; }
I need that gnuplot uses the maximum and minimum of my series.
Thanks

by Federico Lampis UC3M
Great!!!
Yes, I was looking for a way to pass to gnuplot some scalar with which
define the ranges of the graph. Problem solved.
Thanks a lot
Federico

"Enhancements"
by Henrique Andrade
Dear Gretl Team,
I would like to suggest some "enhancements":
1. Create an option "Reset to default" inside all the preference menus (just
like we already have in the "Pallete" tab on the Gretl plot controls);
2. Create an option "Clear recent history" inside the menus File -> Script
files & Session files;
3. Extend the proxy functionality by including the option of using
passwords.
Best regards,

Restrict params in MLE
by savos schmagges
Dear gretl-community,
is it possible to impose restrictions inside a mle-command?
e.g. i want to impose that a parameter d should be estimated higher or equal to a parameter b.
so i am searching for something like that:
mle logl=...
...
d>=b
params d b
end mle
Is there any possibility to account for that??
Thank you so much in advance and have a nice weekend!
cheers
