[Gretl-users] New gretl4py Release – Version 0.50

Hi, I’m excited to announce a new release of the gretl4py Python module! Version 0.50 includes significant updates, upgrades, and bug fixes. The highlights are: * Several bugs fixed (including the one related to exporting nested bundles to a dictionary) * Extensive documentation updates * General |libgretl| printer now available as |gretl.print()| * Code refactoring for improved clarity and simplicity * Official interface to |libgretl|’s |genr| added (|gretl.genr()|) * Robustified |install.py| (thanks, Allin!) * New test: |fractint| * New |_gretl.Dataset| methods: |::hurst()|, |::xcorrgm()|, |::pca()|, |::rename()| * New free functions: |corr()|, |cov()|, |pkg()| * New |GretlPackage| methods: |::get_functions()|, |::get_help()| * |GretlBundle::pop()| method added + enhanced |[]| operator * New |GretlBundle| constructor for on-the-fly bundle creation (similar to gretl’s |_()| function) * |get_data()| now supports a |quiet| option * Marked |nls|, |mle|, |gmm|, and system estimators as experimental * Refactored |GretlModel::fcast()| to mimic libgretl’s |fcast| command * New |GretlModel::dataset| attribute points directly to the dataset used for model estimation * |_gretl.Dataset::varnames()| method added as |::varnames| attribute * New |_gretl.Dataset::summary()| method * |GretlPackage| examples added for BACE, BayTool, BMA, BVAR, criteria, gig, ParMA, SVAR, and TVC * |GretlPackage| parameters now accept both positional (|*args|) and keyword (|**kwargs|) arguments Have fun exploring the new features!
