Gnu Regression, Econometrics and Time-series Library
Features
- A wide variety of least-squares based estimators (including two-stage
least squares).
- Easy intuitive interface.
- Single commands to launch things like augmented Dickey-Fuller test, Chow
test for structural stability, Vector Autoregression.
- Reads own format ascii data files, Comma Separated Values files, BOX1
files, own format binary databases (allowing mixed data frequencies and
series lengths) and RATS 4 databases. Includes a US macro database and a
perl script to create a database off economagic.com. See also the gretl
data page.
- Output models as LaTeX files, in tabular or equation format (not very
flexible yet).
- Integrated scripting language: enter commands either via the gui or via
script.
- Command loop structure for Monte Carlo simulations.
- GUI controller for fine-tuning Gnuplot graphs.
- Link to GNU R for further data analysis.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Presenting GNOME 2.20.1 and all related works for FreeBSD. The official
GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Move misc/gretl to math/gretl; add secondary category of finance
gretl is used in the mathematical analysis of time series,
and has a functionality that is similar to various statistical
and signal processing components of it++, octave, scilab,
R, numpy/scipy, etc. -- most of which are in the math
category. It should really be placed there, rather than
in misc. In recognition of the fact that it implements
some methods that are commonly (but not exclusively!) used
in econometrics, it should also be given a secondary listing
in finance. (In my opinion, however, it shouldn't be given
a primary listing in that category, because most of the
ports there deal with the nuts-and-bolts of accounting,
payment methods, taxes, and stock tracking. To my knowledge,
the only ports now in finance that remotely resemble gretl
are quantlib, xtrader, and qtstalker, all of which employ
simpler methods that are more specific to financial time
series than are the more general methods in gretl.
