BTW, when you ask gretl to add "periodic dummies" in such a
way the names of
the dummy variables depend on the seasonal periodicity, i.e. if the data are
quarterly the dummies are dq1,..., dq4, if the data are monthly they are
dm1,..., dm12 if the seasonal periodicity is greather than 12 the dummies are
dummy_1,..., dummy_99 and then dummy100, dummy101, etc
At the risk of introducing another backward incompatible change, I would
suggest our dear developers that a unique name should be used for the
seasonal dummies independently on the periodicity. And I propose to use d1,
d2, ....
I don't have any objection to that, other than the backward
incompatibility. Any others have thoughts on the matter?
