AFAIK, this is one you’d have to do yourself via MLE (or GMM, maybe?). I think that JMulti has this class of model available from a menu or something similar, but I’ve never used it.

Subject: [Gretl-users] STAR Model with Gretl

 

Hi Gretl Users,

                      Could some gurus here(Allin, Riccardo, Sven, Artur et al.) gist me on how to apply a STAR(Smooth Transition Autoregression) model with Gretl?

                      Cheers

You're right, I was forgetting that. So I've now enabled in CVS what
Artur wanted.

That's a good thought. It might need a little help from the C code
level; e.g. the ability to call up the list of endogenous variables
in the VECM, which I don't think is there right now.
