Dear List, Does anyone have a script for computing Bayesian-based confidence intervals for the impulse responses from a VAR? If not, are there plans to implement this in GRETL natively?

I'm getting there step by step, just one missing :) My gretl batch command set: open TempData1.csv setobs 24 1:01 --time-series arima 1 0 1 ; 2 1 0 dataset addobs 6 fcasterr 2:01 2:06 works good so far. Now I wanted to procure gnuplot a graph like Figure 9.13 on page 135 of http://www.learneconometrics.com/gretl/ebook.pdf Time series plot with forecast and confidence interval. I tried "fcasterr 2:01 2:06 --plot" but gretl -b script does nothing, I can't find any PLT or other files. ? fcasterr 2:01 2:06 --plot For 95% confidence intervals, z(.025) = 1.96 Obs temp prediction std. error 95% confidence interval 2:01 37.7295 0.718507 36.3212 - 39.1378 .. 2:06 36.4813 1.86236 32.8311 - 40.1316 Done gnuplot itself works: ? gnuplot temp hour --with-lines --time-series wrote /home/user/gretl/gpttmp01.plt Done I look through the documentation, but I can't find how to procure that special gnuplot using gretl command line utility with linux. Can anyone help me?

I'll see about reinstating it, since it seems like a useful thing to have.

Dorian's script seems to use a slightly different model, since he uses a logistic distribution instead of a normal, but that's not important. In a double-bound valuation survey, the two bids enable to place the respondents' willingness to pay inside an interval, which becomes your "dependent variable", so to speak. I'm attaching an example script that generates artificial data and should be (hopefully) self-explanatory. Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Economia Universit?
