Hi Marcin
as I haven't used script language very frequently and only have a very rudimentary understanding of its syntax,  -I rely on the GUI to meet my requirements l-your suggestion is leaving me perplexed as to how to implement the update and where to put it. My programming expertise only extends to Fortran and Basic-so that will date me!.

 I have downloaded BACE. zip from Source Forge into my Downloads folder. BACE.zip contains the pdf afticle on BACE and a file BACE.gfn.   On my laptop, Gretl resides in C:\Program Files\gretl. 
I cannot understand what the instruction pkg install /path/to/BACE.zip really means . Why would I install the already downloaded file  BACE.zip into BACE.zip?  Is the pkg BACE.zip? If so where and how do I define pkg  in the script?  is the path really to BACE.zip, or somewhere else?  

Your guidance welcomed.
many thanks
Brian

I thought i would try this option estimating a simple model (always the best way to gain experience and confidence with the routine).
Independent variable, 1 indep variable  . No lag on Y. . Zero selected for out of sample forecast   Constant -can be omitted.   Best 4 models selected -again as the default.

This was the output:-
Dependent viariable was removed from the X list. It is not there -there is only a single indep variable.
Error message from BACE_GUI():
 Average model size should be greater then 0 and lower than K !!!   Average model size specified is the default 1

Some guidance wlecomed please


    

    
Well,

    
it is strange and IMHO it should not happen, but probably there
      is a bug.

    
My suggestion would be to use current development version (which
      is 1.3 ang can be found here (BACE.zip):
      https://sourceforge.net/projects/bace-for-gretl/files/snapshot).

    
Once you download the file just run the followinh line in gretl's
      script window or console: "pkg install /path/to/BACE.zip". And
      that's it: you have current SVN version with many bugs fixed and
      new features added. You my try do run the following HANSL script:

    
<hansl>

      set verbose off

      open australia.gdt

      include BACE.gfn

      

      genr time

      

      x_lags = 1

      y_lags = 1

      

      list X = 6..10

      X = lags(x_lags, X) time

      

      BACE(lpau, X, _(with_const=2, Y_AR_p=y_lags))

      </hansl>
