Re: [Gretl-users] New Windows snapshot - PERFECT!
Yes, I really like it!
And now it's really proffessional.
You said:
Yes, it is the solution. What exactly do you mean when you say
it's
"disabled"? I haven't tested the Windows version in particular but it
works fine here on Linux.
I use Gretl 1.5.0 Windows edition and it's not working. It's not disabled
but the error message comes out when clicking on that option. Something with
data error.
You said:
"Include a constant" is not actually remembered, it's
just the default. If
you uncheck it for one VAR, you'll have to uncheck it again for the next.
"Include a trend" is not the default, so it's always off until checked. It
would be easy enough to remember the setting, but I wonder if that's really
a good idea.
I think that it will be a good idea to remember the settings for trend too
just like as for the sesonals. They are remembered when re-estimateing the
same model. But I agree to reset them (not for a constant) when reopening
Gretl.
What do you think?
Also as a user I have some new suggestions (plus that from yesterday post):
1. It will be nice to include Cointegration vector (EC) graph and EC vector
data in the VECM module. Graph option under "Graphs module" and under "Add
to data set" EC graph values.
Now I can find the graph on the main Gretl console but it's a little bit non
practical solution.
2. In VECM output you can also put alphas wright after the Cointegratin
vectors. I know that you can see them in equatations (and this should stay)
but it's much clearer to put the alpha results once again after the vectors.
What do you say?
