v0.2 of "Imputer" out now
by Artur T.
Hi all,
A new version of the "Imputer" package just got published. Version 0.2
includes a bug fix when using cross-sectional data.
Maybe more interesting to you:
I've added two new functions, namely backfill() and frontfill(). For
details, see the doc:
https://gretl.sourceforge.net/current_fnfiles/Imputer.gfn
Also v0.2 now requires at least gretl version 2022b.

the oddsratios function package will be retired
by Sven Schreiber
Dear all,
now that gretl 2023a is out, the contributed function package
"oddsratios.gfn" will be retired soon, because the functionality is now
included natively in the core gretl program. You can find these results
after a Logit or similar estimation under the Analysis menu, or in case
you are scripting, it's in the $model bundle (as the matrix
$model.oddsratios).
As always, if you need the function package after it is retired from the
server (for example because you cannot upgrade to gretl 2023a
immediately), you should keep the package installed on your local
machine, where it will continue to work. And perhaps make a backup copy
of it.
cheers

Multivariate GARCH models
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Hi all,
as you may know, we've had a function package called MGARCH, that I wrote,
for estimating BEKK models. I'm about to retire it, since two new packages
are now avaliable:
*** a package called BEKK, which can be seen as an updated version of
MGARCH. From the user's point of view, there are very few changes. The
most notable one is that some functions have been renamed. Therefore, if
you have scripts including the line
"include MGARCH.gfn"
you may want to change that to
"include BEKK.gfn"
and check for functions beginning with "Get_": those have now a different
name.
*** a new package called DCC, which, well, deals with DCC models. The
authors are Giulio Palomba, Luca Pedini and myself. It's a brand new
thing, so testing would be much appreciated.
More generally speaking, testing is always good, so if you're into
financial econometrics please give them a go and tell me is you like them.

correlation
by Alison Loddick
Hi,
I'm sure this is an easy question for econometricians rather than me as a statistician, but when using non-parametric correlation GRETL gives significance values and only one correlation at a time, but when using parametric correlation, we get a matrix but no significance values. Correlation values are impacted by sample size; therefore, I use significance to give an idea of the relationship.
I also ask this question as when teaching using GRETL, a matrix for non-parametric correlation would be a preferred output that students can put in a document rather than creating one themselves from individual answers.
Thank you
Alison

Johnson-Neyman plots
by Marcelo Duarte
Hello all,
I would like to know if it is possible to do Johnson-Neyman plots for
interactions on Gretl.
If yes, how to do them.
Best regards,

Thanky so much for your answers.
Currently I'm doing J-N plots on excel, but the time spent and the
probability of errors is very high, so it would be interesting having Gretl
doing the hard work.
This author http://mattgolder.com/interactions provides Stata code for
ploting J-N, both for a simple interaction and for three-way interactions
as well.

Marcelo
