'obs' function parameter type
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
at the beginning of ch. 14 of the user guide there's the following
footnote: "An additional parameter type is available for GUI use, namely
obs; this is equivalent to int except for the way it is represented in
the graphical interface for calling a function."
Even though I have authored various function packages, I wasn't aware of
this. Can anybody point me to a package that uses this facility?
thanks
sven

Package Updates (November/December 2025)
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Dear all,
this message is to inform the community about the activity in our
function package repository: during the months of November and December
2025, 4 packages were updated to a new version and a new one was
released. (I'm putting two months together because last month I just
forgot, hehehe)
The updates were:
"basis_functions", by myself (splines, fractional polynomials, Fourier
series etc)
"CSDpanel.zip, by Sven Schreiber and Jörg Breitung (test and estimators
for panels with cross-section dependence)
"season_plot", by Artur Tarassow (Buys Ballot plots)
"hausman_taylor", by Allin Cottrell (Hausman-Taylor panel model)
And some stats on 2025: we had over 24,000 downloads for our function
packages. The top ten:
