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

panel regression HAC
by Alison Loddick
Hi,
If we have time series data, we can use HAC robust standard errors; however, with panel regression, the robust standard errors are Arellano or PCSE. Is there a way using programming that we can do HAC for panel regression? From what I have read, Arellano isn't as good at dealing with serial correlation. Although I'm aware we can do dynamic panel regression, I'm fighting with lecturers who want students to use Eviews because you can use HAC for panel regression there.
Thank you
Alison

sourceforge offline/hiccup - "no function packages found"
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
at least twice during the last couple of days gretl tells me it doesn't
find any function packages when looking on the server. This seems to be
related to the message on sourceforge.net: "The sourceforge.net website
is temporarily in static offline mode."
Hopefully this situation is going to normalize again, but I wonder if
gretl could somehow detect that the server isn't really working. Perhaps
it would be enough to simply extend the message in gretl's error dialog.
thanks

Problem with "invcdf()" and "critical()"
by f.valentini＠pm.univpm.it
Dear all,
I would like to report a possible bug in the functions invcdf() and critical().
gretl (2023b, Linux) slows down and crashes (after a while) when I run the commands below.
<hansl>
scalar aa = invcdf(X,1,1)
</hansl>
or
<hansl>
scalar bb = critical(X,1,0)
</hansl>
Best,
Francesco

Re: R: Re: Problem with "invcdf()" and "critical()"
by Alecos Papadopoulos
If I am not mistaken, the function invcdf(X,1,1) reflects a chi-square
distribution with 1 degree of freedom and then attempts to compute a
value "z" such that
Prob( X <= z) = 1 (because the 3rd argument of the invcdf function is "1").
But then "z" is not a real, number, but infinity.
