See py4gretl_vecdecomp inside the function package with the same name on
the package server for an example.
An excerpt:
loop foreach i endogenous --quiet
series $i_SWP = sw[,i]
list result = result $i_SWP
series $i_GGperma = GGperma[,i]
list result = result $i_GGperma
series $i_GGtrans = GGtrans[,i]
list result = result $i_GGtrans
endloop
Ok, but in that example "endogenous" is a list, so this implies that the user
should define it first:
list endogenous = income
list components = decomp(endogenous)
and I think that, given that my function does not need more than one input
variable, gretl should have a way to obtain the same effect with only one
line:
list components = decomp(income)
May be the function "varname()" of the "sprintf" command can help in
doing
something like that?
