Please have a look at "Transformations" tab, the option "automatic"
(with
respect to log/no log transformation) is selected by default.
5- click on OK and gretl transfer the info to TRAMO/SEATS and run the
external program
The TRAMO/SEATS window output shows a list of the parameters received from
gretl. You will see the parameter LAM=1 (no logs) instead of LAM=-1
(automatic).
Thanks, Ignacio. Actually gretl was not setting LAM=1. Rather, when
the "automatic" level/log option was chosen (LAM=-1), gretl was not
sending any LAM value to TRAMO. That's because I read the TRAMO doc as
saying that the automatic option was the default. However, it seems
that doesn't apply if the "Standard automatic analysis" is deselected.
So now in CVS we always send the selected LAM value explicitly.
