You need to specify a model first. So you should first ask yourself what is the appropriate model for this kind of data. This is something only you can determine, not gretl, because tastes and assumptions differ between researchers. Having said that, perhaps you find chapter 8 of the user guide on "realtime data" helpful. This might help you to update your changing dataset at every step. Once you have your dataset updated (in a loop, presumably) and your model re-estimated, 'fcast' should work in the usual way. hth, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list Gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
