[Gretl-users] First time user of Hansl and creating a matrix of Spearmans correlation

Hi All, I have never used Hansl or Gauss before and I am trying to work out how to get a programme working to create a matrix of spearman correlations. Allin created one last month, which I tried to run and kept getting 'No redo information available'. Rather than coming running and asking for help I went to Chat GPT asked it what it meant which has gone over my head. I also asked it to decrible each line of the programme as I've done some programming decades ago. So I asked Chat gpt to create me a programme which is very similar to Allin's but with my filename in and variable names in. I get the same error. I'm wondering if someone could direct me into what I should be doing. My data file is Panel2.gdt and I have four variable ROE, ENV,SOC and GOV. It is a panel datafile which is already set up as panel data. The programme from ChatGPT is the following. Please can someone be helpful to a novice I'm sure there is something very simple that I don't know what to do. // Function to calculate Spearman correlations and p-values for a list of variables function matrix spearman_matrix(list variables) matrix SC = {}; strings rnames = array(0); n = nelem(variables); loop i = 1..n loop j = 1..i-1 // Calculate Spearman correlation and p-value SC |= npcorr(variables[j], variables[i], spearman); // Construct row names rnames += sprintf("%s_%s", varname(variables[j]), varname(variables[i])); endloop endloop // Set column names cnameset(SC, defarray("Spearman", "t-stat", "p-value")); // Set row names rnameset(SC, rnames); return SC; end function; // Open your dataset open panel2.gdt; // Specify the variables of interest list variables = deflist("ROE", "ENV", "SOC", "GOV"); // Calculate Spearman correlations and p-values matrix SC_matrix = spearman_matrix(variables); // Print the resulting matrix print SC_matrix; Thank you for any help Alison University of Northampton: Transforming Lives and Inspiring Change www.northampton.ac.uk This e-mail is private and may be confidential and is for the intended recipient only.
