One prob and one picayune complaint:
1) GRETL 1.9.14 Taiwan Windows XP professional, using GUI, [Add -->
lags of selected variables] has no effect. I have closed/reopened
GRETL, made sure I was selecting one or more variables, tried
repeatedly. The other options under the "Add" menu item all seem to
work.
When you select "/Add/Lags of selected variables" are you getting the
dialog box where you choose the number of lags? Are you perhaps not
noticing that added lag terms appear under their "parent" in the main
window, and you click on a "twisty" to display them by name?
2) I know this is picayune whining, and for that I do sincerely
apologize. But the users Guide etc. are all geared toward PhDs in
Stats or Econometrics: very heavy on the math equations (don't hate me
if I say "Who cares? I can't eat equations"), and all examples use
scripts instead of GUI. [...]
Try Lee Adkins' site: http://www.learneconometrics.com/gretl/
Lee gives a nice presentation of many aspects of the gretl GUI.
