SVAR Restriction
by Olasehinde Timmy
Dear Prof,
I am aware that the code 'SVAR_restrict(&x, "C", 1, 2, 0)' is to inform
Gretl of the nature of the restriction to estimate. I also know that this
has to be repeated for several restrictions like in the model. However, I
consider this to be rigorous especially when a large matrix is involved.
Although, I know how a matrix can be created and used with the SVAR GUI, I
don't know how it can be used with the SVAR_restrict(&x, ) function.
Please, I need to be enlighten if this is possible or if I have to do the
imputation for each restriction.
Thanks.

contrib. package Box_Cox_Value to be retired
by Sven Schreiber
Dear all (again),
this message is indirectly related to yesterday's announcement about an
update of the BoxCoxFuncForm package: the similarly named package
Box_Cox_Value by Pedro Isaac Chávez López, dating back from 2014, is
going to be retired from the official package server in a couple of
weeks. Pedro signalled to us that the package isn't maintained anymore,
and the functionality of estimating an optimal Box-Cox transformation
for a single series is now covered by the newer BoxCoxFuncForm package
as well, after its recent update to v0.5.
(There's one (arguably minor) thing that users would have to do manually
now: For series with negative values, the old Box_Cox_Value package
shifted the series to the right, to the strictly positive region. Users
of the newer BoxCoxFuncForm package would have to apply this shift
themselves in a prior step, if it makes sense to do so.)
If for some reason you depend on Box_Cox_Value, please save a local copy
of the package for your own future use.
As always, if you have questions on the usage of the newer package,
you're welcome to ask them here.
cheers

Open dataset with trailing empty variables
by Artur T.
Hi all,
I stumbled over an issue in case a dataset has no values for the last k
columns.
The dataset which I want to open has the following format:
A B C D
1 4
2
3
As can be seen, the last two columns have a header, but all rows are
missing.
For a csv file all four columns get imported as series, respectively.
However, for ods- or xlsx-files only the first two columns are imported
but not columns C and D. I could not find any hint in the help file.
For both ods and xlsx files, the terminal prints the message "Sheet has
2 trailing empty variables"
Can anybody explain this to me, please? Or is this a bug?
Please find attached the test data files.
Best
Artur

Peter then responded: "She says it's an "Intel Iris Plus Graphis".
Thanks, Peter. So it seems to be an Intel Mac. In that case, can you
suggest that your student try the current Intel Mac snapshot:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl-macos-intel.pkg
From the crash report it looks as if the problem may be one that has
been fixed recently. If not, I need to rethink that "fix".

Thanks for the report. Can you tell us, is this on an Intel or M*
(Apple Silicon) Mac?

gretl crash
by Summers, Peter
Hi again,
One of my students provoked a gretl crash after a seemingly successful installation. She had gretl open and loaded a data set by clicking on it in her browser's download window. It opened fine, but when she tried restricting the sample via a Boolean criterion, it crashed. This is with macOS 14.5; crash report attached.
Any thoughts welcome!
