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:

Enjoy the package,
Artur

Econometric problem
by Alison Loddick
Hi all,
I'm wondering if you can help me. Firstly, I am not an econometrician but a statistician, so I know I have lots to learn. I generally use Gretl with students to teach them how to do panel regression and correlation.
Today, I had a student come to see me with their dissertation, and I didn't know what analysis to tell them to do and how to do it in Gretl. I'm hoping that someone in the community can help me.
The student has 17 years of data and wants to compare two variables (pay and productivity) over 17 regions to understand how the regions differ over time and whether the two measures have a relationship. I'm wondering if it is some sort of multivariate time series model.
Can anyone help me help the student?
Thank you
Alison

Warning: bad gretl snapshots!
by Cottrell, Allin
Sorry about this, but please note that the gretl snapshots that I
uploaded to sourceforge yesterday have a nasty breakage to do with
graphing/plotting, liable to produce a crash. New snapshots will be
posted within 12 hours or so, once I've made sure this problem is
fully fixed.

Re: BVAR pkg

This is a very nice addition to Gretl. Thanks a lot Luca.
A quick question. How are the credible sets defined in the plots of the
IRFs? Are they 68%,90%,95%? Is there a way to adjust them in the
BVAR_irf_plot command or elsewhere?
Best,

Allocation of instrumental variables
by elfsog＠yahoo.gr
Consider the following 2SLS model:
Y= b0 +b1X1+b2X2+θ1Ψ1+θ2Ψ2+e
Where:
Y represents the dependent variable,
X1, X2 denote the endogenous variables,
Ψ1,Ψ2 represent the exogenous variables.
To address endogeneity in the model, a set of four instruments, is introduced. Two instruments (Z1 and Z2) are employed to instrument for X1, while two other instruments (Z3 and Z4) are used to instrument for X2.
My question is: How Gretl understand which instrument stands for which endogenous variable?

Reverse a cross tabulation or frequency table
by jota3mc＠gmail.com
Hi,
Is there a way to reverse a frequency table? Suppose I have a matrix of two columns. The first has values for income per capita variable and the second column has the number of persons that earned each specific income. Is there a way to generate a new matrix with only one column that repeats each income per capita value by the number of persons (frequency)?
Thanks.

BVAR pkg
by Luca Pedini
Hi all,
the package BVAR (joint work with Sven Schreiber) is now available and ready to be downloaded!
As you can imagine it deals with Bayesian VAR estimation: at the moment it covers the diffuse, fixed, conjugate and independent prior setups (major details in the manual) providing, among the others, posterior predictions and impulse response functions (Cholesky identification scheme). Parallelization is also enabled via the auxiliary package parallel_func.
Have fun and stay tuned for future upgrades!
Best regards,

gretl extras for macOS
by Allin Cottrell
Hello all,
I've recently checked and updated the various "optional extras"
available for gretl on Mac. Here's the current status.
1) X-13ARIMA
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/x13as/ you can find
x13as-mac-intel.tar.gz
x13as-mac-arm64.tar.gz
which can be installed from within gretl with the command
pkg install <package-file>
2) TRAMO/SEATS
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/tramo/ you can find
tramo-seats-mac-intel.tar.gz
tramo-seats-mac-arm64.tar.gz
which can also be installed via "pkg install".
3) MPI
In https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/mpi we have
openmpi-1.6.5-mac-intel.tar.xz
openmpi-4.1.5-mac-arm64.tar.xz
These cannot be installed via "pkg install" but there are instructions
in the README in the mpi directory, and also in the current MPI guide:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/manual/gretl-mpi.pdf
HOWEVER, please note that a little hack is required to get MPI 4.1.5
working on arm64 with gretl 2023b (or earlier). After installing the
package into your root directory, navigate (in a Terminal window) to
the "/opt" directory and create a symlink:
cd /opt
sudo ln -s openmpi openmpi-4.1
After this the command "ls -l" should show, inter alia,
openmpi-4.1 -> openmpi
This hack is not needed for the July 31 snapshot or later.
