​It would be nice if both these approaches and possibly the combinatorial one where included ​
in a menu item "model". It will be easy for the average use and students to use.

Hello Sven,

Yes I mean all possible combinations of regressors.

Are there any variable selection methodologies included in Gretl?
Something like STEPLS, Combinatorial, etc?

The two possibilities that come to my mind atm are the omit command with the --auto option and M. Błażejovski & J. Kwiatkowski's excellent BMA function package (https://www.jstatsoft.org/article/view/v068i05).

Thanks for pointing it out, it wasn't obvious to me before that it can be viewed as a variable selection tool.

Adding more options would make for a very nice function package, IMO.

There is also the 'addlist' function package by Allin which does the specific-to-general direction. (omit --auto being general-to-specific)

With "combinatorial" do you mean trying out all possible specifications by brute force?

cheers,
sven
