Gretl-Hansl "IDE" for Sublime editor
by Artur Tarassow
Dear all,
some weeks ago I've started to switch to the sublime editor
(https://www.sublimetext.com/) for writing gretl code.
Even though I like the simplicity of the gretl editor and its features
such as syntax highlighting and auto-itendation, it lacks some features
of modern IDEs such as "goto-anything", "goto-definition", custom
keybindings, fancy themes, git-implementation, snippets etc. which make
life much easier when working on larger projects. Don't get me wrong,
the gretl editor is great but was _never_ supposed to become a proper
software-development IDE but rather has another focus which is totally fine.
So I started to write the "Hansl-Gretl-Language" package for sublime
which includes the following features:
- 3 gretl build-systems (client mode, batch mode, and REPL mode) for
executing hansl code by means of sublime (plots are also working!)
- syntax-highlighting
- completion of gretl commands, accessors and keywords
- some snippet examples for speeding up coding
The project still has the following (known) issues:
- no auto-itendation (still have to figure out how this works)
- issues with some corner-cases which are not syntax-highlighted (regex
can become so hard!)
The package can be downloaded through sublimes package control system,
and can be found here:
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Hansl-Gretl-Language
If somebody wants to participate on this project, check out the code on
my github repository:
https://github.com/atecon/Hansl-Gretl-Language
For those interesting in the sublime editor, check out "OdatNurd"'s
brilliant tutorials on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/user/nurdz
Enjoy the package,
Artur

why cmod?
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
I'm wondering why the cmod() function is needed. It computes the modulus
of a complex number (or many of them in a matrix), OK fine. But so does
abs(). And abs() also works on plain real numbers, where cmod cannot be
used. Could it be a path-dependent thing: first abs() didn't cover
complex numbers but then rendered cmod() obsolete by also working on
those? Or is there anything else which I'm missing?
Otherwise, maybe a case for deprecating or hiding cmod?
thanks

package announcement: MSVAR
by Sven Schreiber
Hi everybody,
just a note that since last week or so there's a new contributed
function package on the gretl package server, namely MSVAR(.zip). As you
may guess from the name it does Markov-Switching VAR estimation.
(Frequentist, not Bayesian.)
I am very grateful to the author of the original Gauss code, Anders
Warne, that he continues to make his code available. Of course as the
package author I am responsible for any mistakes, but I haven't really
developed the algorithm or implementation per se.
The package is work in progress, but already comes with quite extensive
documentation. There are surely still a bunch of bugs in there, but in
principle it should hopefully be usable.
As explained in the documentation, this package can be driven by hansl
scripting (of course) but also via the GUI by attaching it to the menus
of the regular VAR model window during installation: So you would first
estimate a plain old VAR, and then go to the Edit window to find MSVAR
there and switch over to a switching model.
See some of you tomorrow at the virtual gretl workshop!
cheers

New packages for autoregressive Probit and Hamilton filter
by Sven Schreiber
Hi everybody,
just a quick notice that recently two new contributed function packages
have seen the light of the gretl world:
- 'ARprobit', which implements the Kauppi&Saikkonen approach to estimate
a dynamic Probit model including an autoregressive term (in addition to
lags of the dependent dummy).
- 'hamilcycle', which applies the simple but already popular proposal by
Hamilton to do a regression-based filter of a time series to obtain a
cyclical component (based on an idea by Jack a year ago)
As always (sorry for being repetitive) you can get these and other
contributed packages online from within gretl ("fx" button at the
bottom, or through the menu File/Function packages/On server).
cheers
