Re: [Gretl-users] Feature request...
It seems to me that this is a good candidate for a packaged function, no?
cheers,

You have an example on how to do the Goldfeld-Quandt test in /File/script
files/user file/Practice file/Ramanathan/ps8-3
It is not very long so I include it here:
<script>
# PS8.3, for Example 8.4, Goldfeld-Quandt test
open data8-1
genr LNSALARY=ln(SALARY)
genr YRS2 = YEARS*YEARS
# estimate log quadratic model for first 75 observations
smpl 1 75
ols LNSALARY const YEARS YRS2
genr var1 = $sigma*$sigma
genr df1 = $df
# estimate log quadratic model for last 75 observations
smpl 148 222
ols LNSALARY const YEARS YRS2
genr var2 = $sigma*$sigma
genr df2 = $df
# compute F-statistic and pvalue for test
smpl 1 222
genr Fc = var2/var1
pvalue F df1 df2 Fc
</script>
