Hi PS,
Want to have the coefficients maximising t value
Matlab have a add on doing the maximisation
How to do the maximising on gretl?

Clarodina,
I don't know of any add-on in Matlab or any other econometric software that's
designed to maximize t-statistics. I also don't know of any reason why you'd want
to do that.
Having said that, I suppose you could write this problem down in the same way you'd do
a maximum likelihood estimation, or possibly GMM. Gretl does ML and GMM estimation -- see
chapters 19 and 20 of the user's guide. Is that what you're wanting to do? If so,
that's definitely NOT maximizing the t-statistics in a regression.
At any rate, if you really want to get maximum t's (in absolute value?), you'll
have to program that yourself.
PS

New subject: Cost elasticity of Substitution
Hi All,
Could someone gist me how to apply the cost elasticity of subsitution formula
found in attached file.
Cheers

The first thing that comes to mind is the nls command (chapter
18 in the User's Guide). Or mle if you can write down the
log-likelihood.

Please, look at the manual !!

Sorry, from time to time, our dear developers change the structure of
the manual. In the manual files of the Windows snapshot version of gretl
(or the CVS version) that you may find in
http://gretl.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/manual/en/
this things are in chapter 28.

Is it not the case that when the coefficients have a t-distribution that
the ols estimates have minimum variance and thus maximise the t-statistics.
If you are trying to fit a heavy tailed distribution to some phenomenum
and wis to estimate the appropriate degrees of freedom be sure to use a
form of generalised t-distribUtion as there are constraints on the mean and
variance of the standard t-distribution.

New subject: Overlapping Intervals
Hi All,
I'm using GMM DIFF(Arellano & Bond) to explore convergence in African
Stock Markets. Really, what keeps puzzling me is the how to specify my model with the
jargons of "overlapping intervals", "nonoverlapping intervals",
"end period intervals", I find in the literature. If this is the Autoregression
Order(as I infer), then how do I reconcile this inference with the results which reports
only one estimated coefficient for the lagged endogenous variable?. Could someone come to
my rescue?
Cheers
