Gretl on Linux Mint not working without ldconfig
by Andreï | Андрей Викторович
Dear Riccardo and Allin,
I have experienced some trouble with a newly compiled gretl from CVS (Linux
Mint Debian Edition) but luckily a 2012-10-09 message from Riccardo
advising to use “sudo ldconfig” helped overcome the “error while loading
shared libraries: libgretl-1.0.so.9” error message that popped if gretl
were started from console. After “make” and “sudo make install”, the
standard way of launching gretl (through buttons from the start menu)
didn’t work, so I resorted to the console, googled the error message, found
Riccardo’s answer and implemented it. And it worked! However, there is one
question: could you announce it (or include it somewhere in the compiler
readme) that the command “sudo ldconfig” should be used if gretl GUI just
won’t start after the compilation? Or maybe, since “make install” is
invoked by the superuser, one of the last steps of the installation should
be a forced “ldconfig” run just in case? Or does it seem potentially more
toxic rather than remedying?
P.S. The nested “--progressive” loops no longer crash the programme, thank
you very much for the fix!

No lags though option selected
by Tim Nall
gretl list,
One prob and one picayune complaint:
1) GRETL 1.9.14 Taiwan Windows XP professional, using GUI, [Add -->
lags of selected variables] has no effect. I have closed/reopened
GRETL, made sure I was selecting one or more variables, tried
repeatedly. The other options under the "Add" menu item all seem to
work.
2) I know this is picayune whining, and for that I do sincerely
apologize. But the users Guide etc. are all geared toward PhDs in
Stats or Econometrics: very heavy on the math equations (don't hate me
if I say "Who cares? I can't eat equations"), and all examples use
scripts instead of GUI. It's very, very, very hard (in fact, usually
impossible) to find out "If I encounter obstacle x, what do I do? And
if I find out what to do, how do I find it on the menus?" Sorry again.
Over and out.

Gretl crashes while doing a nested ARIMA loop
by Andreï | Андрей Викторович
Greetings, dear developers!
Please consider the following humble code I am trying use to illustrate the
usefulness of a whole portfolio of models compared by AIC. What I am
expecting: (1) generate a true ARMA(2,2) model, (2) run a loop with i=1..5
and j=1..5 for ARMA estimation and obtain the AIC’s for those, (3) the
result should look like those “long” models like ARMA(5,5) include more
redundant lags and they will be punished by Akaike and its DOF loss penalty.
However, on Linux Debian (testing, both x32 and x64) the 1.9.14 (build
2014-03-19) version crashes and quits without any warning when the
following script is run:
##########
nulldata 500
setobs 1 1 --special-time-series
genr time
set seed 20140413
series wn = randgen(n,0,1)
# ARMA(2,2) model, seems both stationary and invertible
series z = 4.5
z = 1 + 0.25*z(-1) + 0.55*z(-2) + wn + 0.5*wn(-1) + 0.5*wn(-2)
# The beast
loop i=1..5 --progressive
loop j=1..5 --progressive
arima $i 0 $j ; z
printf "Akaike criterion: %f\n", $aic
endloop
endloop
##########
Same problem if *arma* command is used.
I tried to run it on the current snapshot (1.9.15cvs b.2014-04-04) for
Windows x32, but to no avail: the message given before the crash is “MS
Visual C++ Runtime Library: This application has requested the Runtime to
terminate it in an unusual way”.
What can I do in order to avoid this mishap and sort of estimate ARMA(i,j)
for various $i and $j in a loop?
Best wishes,
Andreï V. Kostyrka

gretl grumbles, but it handles such data correctly (drops the offending
rows). If you don't mind the snark there's no need to pre-process BLS
data.

How does gretl handle quater 5
by Logan Kelly
Hello,
I have a quick question about haw gretl handles data imported from the BLS. If you download a series from the BLS, say into ms excel, you will get years with 5 quarters or 13 months. The Q5, or M13 for monthly data, is some annual summary of the data. What is the expected behavior of gretl in the case that I import the data without properly removing the non-observations, i.e. Q5/M13, from the csv file before importing? When I try this experiment in the import output I find
"2001q05": BLS-type nonsense? Trying again
Does gretl drop these rows from the data set? That is what appears to be happening. Also, is it terribly bad form to let gretl handle this issue rather than removing the rows before import?
Thanks,
Logan

create gretl database with the gretl scripting language

Hello,
Is there a way to create a gretl database with hansel? I am working with time series data with different frequencies. I looked in the User Guide but did not find much on how to create a database, but maybe I just missed it. If so apologies.

Test reverse causality
by andrea_conti_86＠tiscali.it
Dear Gretl users,
i'm doing panel regression where i suppose there's a reverse causality
among independent and dependent variables and I can't find instrument
for them .
Does exist a test that tell me if such reverse causality exists?

Export output to excel or csv
by valentina colombo
Dera gretl users,
I had estimate my SVAR model and I need to export the estimated coefficients (bootdata) to excel or csv file. I have tried to use the following command but it is storing my variables but not bootdata (from a SVAR).
store /home/valentina/bootdata.csv bootdata
! gnumeric /home/valentina/bootdata.csvAny suggestion? I cannot go on with my estimation!!
Thanks
