Hi Sven,
Sure, I will try to redo my questions. Sorry for the confusion that my rambling might have caused.
However, I have no idea what you mean by "switched off the ‘digest’ mode”?
I’m just responding to a normal email. Can you tell me how to do that on a email?
Thanks.

A strange behavior of gretl with graphs.

Hi Sven,
Sorry for not responding to your post earlier. The whole "Gretl-users Digest, Vol 159, Issue 10" was in my junk-mail box before I rescued it.
Back to your question, yes, I just tried it for the first time.
Today I had 3 instance of gretl opened, each with a different dataset.
In one of them, when I tried to save a graph to icon view, the error was:
"/Users/fred/.gretl/gpttmp.CoumQp: No such file or directory”.
On another instance of gretl, when I tried to save a graph, the error was:
"/Users/fred/.gretl/gpttmp.BvLVkQ: No such file or directory”.
On the 3rd instance of gretl, an attempt to save a graph resulted in:
"/Users/fred/.gretl/gpttmp.ndV74m: No such file or directory”.
So I opened a new instance of gretl, and it worked fine in saving a graph to icon view.
In this instance of gretl, my attempt to zoom after I had saved the graph to icon view failed with the same error message:
"Failed to open file '/Users/fred/.gretl/gretltmp.png': No such file or directory”.
This time, I closed the graph, and double clicked the graph icon, and then the zoom worked.
So I went back to one of the 3 instances where I wasn’t able to save a graph to icon view. This time, instead of trying to save the graph I produced yesterday, I created a new graph, and it worked.
I tried in other instances of gretl also, and I was able to save all newly created graphs, but not the ones I created before.
Could it be that once my mac goes to sleep, something changed when it wakes up?
Best,

Re: Fwd: FIML estimation in single equation regression
by José Perles
Thanks Sven for your fast response.
In fact I have a sample with lots of missing data. From 207 observations I get with OLS command an effective sample size of 76.
I have seen that FIML would be a solution and some perform the analysis for example in Stata using “sem” command (method=mlmv).
I would know of it is possible to replicate the Stata result in Gretl.
Thanks again
José
