because I don't know the details of gretl's gmm syntax. For example,
without too much thinking I would expect some derivatives to be needed
(X(\tilde(\beta)) in Davidson-MacKinnon-speak), but maybe that's already
implicitly there?
If you're prepared to live with numerical derivatives, gmm computes them
automagically and you don't have to worry about them. It'd be very nice to
have gmm use user-supplied analytical derivatives like nls and mle; the
trouble is that it's very hard to find a convenient user-level syntax.
