[Gretl-users] Re: X-13ARIMA updates for Windows and Mac

folks,When I generate a forecast using VECM, unable to see the forecast errors (RMSE, MAPE etc), can you provide some insight on this?thx Rajveer RawlinAcademician & Consultanthttps://rajveersmarketviews.blogspot.com On Friday, July 21, 2023 at 01:44:34 AM GMT+5:30, Allin Cottrell <cottrell(a)wfu.edu&gt; wrote: There are some new files available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/x13as/ that may be of interest to people running Windows or Mac. In brief, the updates are * For 64-bit Windows, there's now an X-13ARIMA zip archive in addition to the installer exe file. Could be useful for those who don't have permission to run installers. * For Mac, there's now a version of X-13ARIMA for gretl compiled for "Apple Silicon" (arm64). Details follow. * Windows (64-bit): we offer a zip archive named x-13arima-win64.zip. Inside the zipfile there's an "x-13arima" folder containing x13as.exe and a "docs" folder with two PDFs from the census bureau site. You can unzip this anywhere suitable on your computer, but you'll have to go to Tools > Preferences > General, select the Programs tab, and either type in or browse for the correct location of x13as.exe. * Mac (M1 or M2): There's now a gzipped tar file called x-13arima_apple_arm64.tar.gz. Inside it there's a folder named x-13arima with sub-folders bin and lib. The bin folder contains the x13as executable. The recommended location for exploding the archive is /usr/local. That is, in a terminal window you might do cd /usr/local sudo tar xvf /path/to/x-13arima_apple_arm64.tar.gz where "/path/to" would likely be "~/Downloads". Then you should go to Tools > Preferences > General in gretl, select the Programs tab, and enter (for example) /usr/local/x-13arima/bin/x13as for the x13 path. This is tested on macOS 13 (Ventura); hopfully it may also work on macOS 11 (Big Sur) and 12 (Monterey) but we can't say for sure. If the new Mac version seems to be working OK for most people, we'll produce a "pkg" file to make the installation a bit easier. -- Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
