Without having given this much thought, I believe this shouldn't be difficult to do via GHK.

Actually, Guass-Hermite integration is the proper tool for this job. See the quadtable() function.

Ok, so I put together a small script that performs ML of random-effects tobit via Gauss-Hermite integration (attached). It would be nice to find some kind soul that turns this into a function package.

Microeconometricians to the front!

Thanks Jack, your script runs fine here. Actually I'm a bit surprised that the functions and the script aren't very long. Good for gretl (and for us)!

Perhaps it would be good to put this into the feature request tracker and attach the code there. So far the tracker has mainly been used for requests concerning core gretl, but I'd say that's no iron law.

thanks,
