Hello everybody,
A week ago I uploaded a new version of the Kapetanios test: Kapetanios 2.1
which I intend to use as a replacement of Kapetanios 2.0. A few months ago
a user wrote to me showing that there was something wrong with the output
of the function (it printed the same test statistic for one and two
breaks). After a thorough inspection, the co-authors of the function
(originally Ricardo Ramírez and me, but now also Andrea Sánchez Urbina)
finally uncovered a silly mistake with unfortunate non trivial
consequences. This problem has been corrected and the output was also
significantly improved. I used the standard procedure to upload Kapetanios
2.1, but it has not been yet made available at the server. On the server,
only Kapetanios 2.0 is available. I would like to ask about the status of
the new function.
Friendly regards,
Daniel

At some point there was a transitional problem due to an underlying
change of servers. If possible, please try again with the latest release
2022a.

If the data is public -and I guess it is, given the source- then yes you
can include it in a contributed function package. Basically there are
two options:
- If you desperately want to avoid the slightly more complex zipped
package format, then you could for example define a matrix holding the
copied-and-pasted data. For that you would define a private function
(i.e., not declared public) that returns a matrix, and inside the
function you would literally have that matrix defined. (You could
basically do the same thing with the series type.)
- Perhaps a better way is to go with the zipped format, and then you can
even stuff gretl data files into your package. Please see the packaging
guide (under the help menu), section 4.4 and especially chapter 5 "Zip
package details".
cheers
