download/open problem on mac OS X 10.7.4
by Stratis, Nicholas
I' m having difficulty opening gretl on my mac air (OS X 10.7.4). I've downloaded gretl & unzipped it (and GTK as well) , open the gretl image, and get the gretl icon bouncing at the bottom of the screen...when I click on it, it disappears. What am I doing wrong?
(By the way, I've had no trouble downloading gretl on my macbook pro (10.5.8), or on several versions of windows),
Many thanks, Nick

Sven,
Take a look at the sites I mentioned. They're pretty clear how they work
within 5 minutes of poking around, but basically what they do is provide a
very organized question-and-answer forum. Users ask questions, can include
pictures or code, and any other useful information. Other users are free to
provide an answer below, and users can add comments to both questions and
answers to get further clarification on an issue. They also include features
like "upvoting" the most helpful answers, so that users can find a question
similar to their own and the best answer will be sorted directly underneath
it. When users type in the search bar, or start typing a new question, the
site (very cleverly) suggests previous questions that might be helpful. They
also make very efficient use of tags to point users in the direction of
related answers.
For me, my learning curve on LaTeX has been significantly shortened as a
result of this format.

Can the descriptive label of a series (1) be set in a script and (2) be accessed through a script?

A(n) (in)decent proposal
by Trevor Zink
So I had a thought about this list-serve.
I've been subscribed for about a year, and I enjoy reading the posts, though
I often don't find all of them useful. But then, months later, I'll come
across a problem in gretl, and I know it's been discussed on the mailing
list, but I can't find it. I know the archives are available online, but
they're organized by date instead of topic, so unless I know when something
was discussed (or get lucky with a Google search), I'm hosed.
I am also involved with the LaTeX Stackexchange site
(http://tex.stackexchange.com/) which uses a different model that works very
well. As another example, Stackoverflow.com has a stats section on which
many people share knowledge about Stata.
I know a lot of you put a lot of time and energy into running this
list-serve and responding to questions, so I hope I'm not stepping on any
toes, but has anyone ever considered moving this over to a stackexchange
format? There's so much knowledge available here, I just wish it were more
accessible! It might help more people use and get involved with gretl.
Cheers,
Trevor

Standardized coefficients through GUI
by JOSE FRANCISCO PERLES RIBES
Hi,
Is there any option to get the standardized coefficients from OLS regression
Gretl-GUI? In the menus I not found it
If not, is there any accessor or command through the console or via script?
Thanks in advance and sorry for any inconvenience.

Windows snapshot
by Allin Cottrell
In the current Windows snapshot I'm experimenting with an
update of the GTK runtime files, from version 2.16 to version
2.24. I've done a little testing and it seems OK, but I'd be
grateful if Windows users could try the snapshot and let me
know if anything seems broken.

off-topic: how to simulate the VAR correctly
by artur tarassow
Dear gretl list, I know that this is a bit off-topic... but nevertheless
maybe somebody could help me with this.
I am attempting to program the Chow-test for VAR models as implemented in
JMulti. In order to incorporate the bootstrapping part, the original
reduced-form VAR needs to be simulated many times based on a resampling
technique, as e.g. described in Lütkepohl's "New Introduction to Multiple
Time Series Analysis".
My problem is the following:
In the case of estimating a VAR with deterministic terms and/or exogenous,
I am not sure how to account for these terms correctly. In the reference of
the "varsimul" command it is stated that these terms can be handled by
folding them into the U matrix.
I attached an example based on a VAR(1) including a linear trend. The
problem is about line 20 in the code, where "matrix U = u .+ B" accounts
for the constant, but I am not sure whether "matrix U = u .+ B .+ DD" would
be the correct form to account for the linear trend as well.
Thanks in advance,
Artur
