Hi everybody,
some of you may remember the JMulTi Java- and Gauss-based software and
some related books (co-) authored by Helmut Lütkepohl. Thanks to Jack,
the example datasets used in those books and that existed in JMulTi
format are now directly available in gretl format. See under
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/datafiles/ and watch out
for the "HLBooks..." zip or targ.gz archives, which holds a number of
.gdt files.
(We should probably also add a link to the wiki page...)
Furthermore, it may be useful to know that the import of JMulTi style
datafiles does (temporarily) not work directly with the latest gretl
version 2023c. Here's a workaround:
One can delete the header of a JMulTi file -- that is, the leading material:
|/* ... */|and |<...>|
and then it should be read OK as a "CSV" format file (but without
automatic recognition of the starting date).
The recognition of JMulTi dat files has been restored in snapshots and
what will be the next gretl version (presumably 2024a). But again, if
it's just about the teaching and example files that came with the
book(s), you can just use the pre-converted versions given above.
thanks

Hi Sven,
Thanks for your effort.
One question: Is this dataset supposed to be available via the gretl
server? I can't access it via the menu (File -> Open data -> Sample file
-> Look on server).
Thanks
Artur

You're right.
@Allin: I've done _part_ of the necessary job, that is updating the
addons-data/datapkgs.txt on SF. That means that the new file now appears
as available for download for the appropriate window, but I have no time
now to finish the job. Would you mind taking care of the rest?

Never mind, I managed to find some time in the end. Everything should
work ok now. @Artur, can you check?

Thank you, Jack. The "luetkepohl" dataset is found on the server now.

One small point: datapkgs.txt doesn't seem to be updated in git.
