I would like to thank everyone for offering helpful comments. My
initial motivation for this message was the lack of documentation in
the user's guide as well as a GUI help icon. I realized later that a
short entry with references exists in the command reference.

Hi,
just wanted to say, although normally I'm not a very big fan of
discussing general econometrics questions unrelated to gretl on this
list, I found the quality of Javier's post impressive. Clear, concise,
and even comes with a list of references, wow!
¡Vaya campeón!
cheers,
sven
