One other point: when you estimate a model via the gui (single equation
or multiple) it does _not_ become the "last model", for data retrieval
purposes, so far as the console is concerned. This is perhaps debatable,
but it's by design. The idea was that things could get confusing.
Suppose a user has one "thread" going in the console (estimate, retrieve
values, calculate), and then, "on the side", estimates a model via
point-and-click. Then where should, say, $uhat be drawn from in the
next console command?
At present the answer is, from the last model estimated via the console.
So this goes both ways, does it? I mean that also a new console/script
estimate does not affect the model which is used for menu commands?
I can see the point, although personally I use (or would like to use)
gretl differently. The behavior should probably not be changed unless
there's a better reason than my personal preference, but maybe should be
mentioned in the documentation. Btw, is there a kind of system to track
enhancement requests like these? I might get around sometime to
contribute some documentation, but not right now. And without a
bugtracker this may be forgotten.
Actually, the underlying assumption is that anyone doing anything at
all
complicated with retrieval of model data would write a script, in which
case these issues don't arise.
Right. Anyway, I guess my stumbling point was just the fact that
matrices aren't yet supported via the gui. It would be nice if that
could be added, but I understand/agree that that doesn't have a high
priority.
