Problem with copy-as-csv matrix with eigenvalues
by Alecos Papadopoulos
Using the eigen function I obtain the matrix with eigenvalues
XXeig (5 x 1)
4.4676e+004 + 0.0000e+000i
5.9654e+003 + 0.0000e+000i
1.2180e-003 + 0.0000e+000i
1.0542e+002 + 0.0000e+000i
8.0995e+002 + 0.0000e+000i
If I select its icon, select "copy as csv..." and choose any of the
"comma / space / tab" options for separators, I get, when pasting into
an excel file,
44676.2059363678
0
5965.42208618647
0
0.00121802209740075
I understand that essentially it copies the first three eigenvalues but
understands as different rows the numbers to the left of the stand-alone
"+" sign.
So, since this is a 5 X 1 matrix, it exhausts the row index at the
element 1.2180e-003.
Could that be fixed?
Thanks.

Date time recognition
by Ramki S
Hi,
1. Can gretl recognize the ymd hms format dates automatically?
2. If the data is 30 min frequency data, how to tell gretl?

Implementing latest developments in forecasting
by ramakrishnasalagrama＠gmail.com
Hi,
New techniques are emerging quickly and a general user wanted to test these techniques quickly through some gui based software and gretl has plenty of potential in this regard. For example, the time series package "prophet" by facebook one wanted to use but there is no option of doing this in gretl. So instead of writing the entire code from the ground up, we can integrate python into gretl and run the function in the background and show the results in gretl. SPSS is doing the same for some functions. It has support for R and Python. Any ideas?

They are not matching. Also, gretl is not printing the final alpha, beta, gamma values. Any help? data is given below.

time-out loading the user guide
by Sven Schreiber
Hi all, in the past weeks I have repeatedly experienced time-out
messages from gretl when trying to load the manual (user guide). This
happened even though steady progress was visible in the green bar in the
dialog window. I could download the guide from the sourceforge website
with a browser, but not from within gretl.
I believe this could be slowness of the sourceforge server rather than
slowness of the various network connections where I saw this. Maybe
gretl just needs to be more tolerant there?
thanks

Package updates (February 2026)
by Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti
Dear all,
this message is to inform the community about the activity in our
function package repository: during the month of February 2025, 3
packages were updated to a new version and a new one was released.
The new one is
"ZivotAndrews", by myself, which implements Zivot and Andrews' famous
unit-root test under structural breaks. Notably, it features a novel
method for computing p-values, which is described here
<https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2026.112833>.
The updates were:
"paneldesc", also by myself (Basic statistics about gaps in panel datasets)
"CSDpanel", by Sven Schreiber and Jörg Breitung (test and estimators for
panel datasets with cross-section dependence)
"TVC", by Ekkehart Schlicht (Regression with Time-varying coefficients
using this estimator
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42952-021-00110-y>)
Moreover, a companion package to TVC, "TVCplots" was released yesterday.
As usual, update and enjoy!
