Plots off the screen
by Seth J Kopchak
Dear All,
Running gretl 1.9.6. on windows 7.
If I create a plot, the window is placed off my monitors and out of reach
of my cursor. [Until recently only half of the window went off the
monitor, but now, inexplicably (to me) the whole thing is out of reach.]
This phenomenon must be related to having more than one monitor, since if
I turn disable all but one screen the graphics window shows up in a
reasonable place.
Searched for clues, but only other mention was on this list in 2007, and
doesn't have a resolution.
Working around with Alt+space m and then the arrow keys, but this adds a
bit too much suspense to examining graphics. Imagine there must be some
configuration for gnuplot somewhere but I'm not sure how to fix this
problem.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Best,
SK

THE GRETL MAILING LISTS ARE MOVING
by Allin Cottrell
A heads-up for subscribers to the gretl mailing lists: all of our
lists will be moving to a new location next week, probably on
Monday. Wake Forest University no longer wishes to maintain such
lists, and thanks go to Jack Lucchetti and his colleague Daniele
Ripanti for arranging to host the lists at univpm.it.
If all goes according to plan you will find yourselves automatically
subscribed to the new (or reincarnated) lists. The addresses to
which you should post will change to:
gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it # for the users list
gretl-devel(a)gretlml.univpm.it # for the devel list
See https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/ for an overview.
We will send another broadcast message when we know the transition
is actually about to happen. There will probably be a period of a
few hours when posting to either of the lists is not possible.

Running Gretl from a USB pen drive
by Stefano
dear all,
I can confirm that Gretl works smoothly from a USB stick while running a
Windows 10 box of a Linux virtual machine. Thanks to Sven for pointing
to the instructions and for NOT pointing out that I could have found it
by myself :-)
Stefano

Standard Error Impulse Response
by Olasehinde Timmy
Dear Professors
I couldn't access the stardard error scaled impulse response after
estimating VECM/VAR model, instead the cholesky one. This is not useful for
the analysis I am doing. Please, is there a way to do this?
Thanks.
Best wishes

More and better documentation on latex installation might help a bit.

Hi Sven and all,
After you mentioned the use of LaTex, I tried and failed to make my gretl to work with LaTeX for a quite a few days.
Make the long story short, I downloaded MacTeX 2018Basic, and then downloaded MacTeX 2018 full 4G file!
None worked, for I can’t seem to find the correct pdflatex file that I need to link gretl to on my Mac.
After poking around, I found it in “~/usr/local/texlive/2018basic/bin/x86_64-darwin”!
Now my gretl works with LaTeX!
It seems that had I installed LeTeX first, and then install gretl, I assume gretl will be able to find it during the installation process. Am I right on this?
Otherwise, the user need to know which of the millions of LaTeX file to link gretl to.
Is there a better way to document this so that others don’t have to go through what I did?

Re: [Gretl-users] Wish-list: Ordinary least squares as formula when there are more than 5 variables (without Latex installed) (Allin Cottrell)

Hi Allin,
Thanks so much, but I feel bad to make you work on this "kind of a pain”. :)

Wish-list: How about having robust standard error as the default on the GUI check box, etc.
by Fred Engst
Thanks Allin.
It was my mistake of not recognizing the coeffsum is a restriction with only 1 d.o.f.
While we are on the topic of wish-list,
1. Why can’t we make the robust standard error as the default on the GUI check box?
Is there any situation in which a robust standard error will be biased and wrong?
By having the default being robust, those that insist on having the homoskedastic standard errors reported can uncheck the check box.
2. Is there any reason not to have time dummies included as the default in a panel data regression? Those that have variables that only change with time should uncheck the include time dummy check box.
