[Gretl-users] cute sample script?

For anyone using current CVS gretl or the Windows snapshot: I've 
added a datafile and sample script pertaining to the possible role 
of corruption in last month's ISO vote on Microsoft's "Office Open 
XML".  See http://www.effi.org/blog/kai-2007-09-05.en.html
The files are ooballot.gdt and ooballot.inp.

At effi.org there are analyses using Fisher's Exact Test and the 
Rank Sum test (done with R).  The gretl script replicates those, 
but also includes an ordered probit, which seems to provide 
stronger evidence for the claim:  the greater the degree of 
"perceived corruption" in a country, the more likely was a 
favourable vote for MS.

Allin.
