[Gretl-users] JMulTi

[john w]

Yes, I already told Allin and Jack about JMulTi and I also told Markus about 
Gretl on JMulti forum.
It's true that thay are both open source but the main problem with 
compatibillity is in different programming languages. JMulti is based on 
Jawa platform.
I use them both. The oconnection between them is in Excel files which can be 
imported.
Gretl is better in OLD, Logit, Probit, SURE etc. analisys while JMulTi is 
better in time series analisys like VAR and VEC, subset modelling.
