Thanks guys. This solves it, and the $hat accessor idea is also nice.

For the moment I used "method 3" as appears in gretl's user guide Cheat Sheet (ch. 21) "Generating the “hat” values after an OLS regression".

I can see that the "ensure unique names" facility is not helpful in this context. In git and snapshots there's now an --overwrite option for the leverage command. The effect is that the same default names will be reused on each iteration.

There may be a few other commands that could benefit from such an option for use within a loop.

Thanks, Allin.

Another (possibly complementary) way to solve the problem would be introducing a new accessor ($hat, maybe?) that gives you the series with the diagonal of the projection matrix, that is

<hansl>
set verbose off
open data4-1.gdt
list X = const sqft
ols price X

series hat = NA
mX = {X}
matrix iXX = invpd(mX'mX)
loop i = 1 .. $nobs
    hat[i] = qform(mX[i,], iXX)
endloop

print hat -o
</hansl>

Once you've got those, all the rest follows.
