[Gretl-users] Re: Covariance Matrix with standard errors, and finding the p-value of the F-statistic when taking out regressors

Hi, I'm an undergrad, just started looking at gretl. It looks amazing; thanks a bunch for the work. I have two minor suggestions. 1) I noticed you can make a covariance coefficient matrix. Have you considered including the standard errors under these, and also using the asterisks to mark whether the coefficients are statistically significant at some level? Could that be added as an option? That's how Stock and Watson seem to present these coefficient matrices, and they also include summary statistics at the bottom (SER, R-bar squared, and n). 2) The output of a least squares regression is somewhat long, and I've noticed that I can't selectively copy/paste from it. That's not a big deal as I can delete stuff after copying, but overall I wonder why that is, and would like to be able to copy/paste selectively. I've noticed that in general I can't right-click on these outputs, and I wonder why. 3) It would also be nice to just output an equation that I could copy/paste, or export somehow. I imagine this is the best open-source stats program around? Can gretl do time-series well? How does gretl compare to the commercial software (I've used Eviews 4.1 Student Version and SPSS, and both seem terribly clunky). Thanks, Ben Creasy Pacific University
