[Gretl-users] Scaled Frequency in Periodogram

[Thomas La Bone]

In this example an AR(2) dataset is simulated. I do not have a lot of 
experience with the Gretl language and it is not clear to me how  to 
generate an MA dataset. Can someone suggest the appropriate commands 
needed to generate an MA(2) dataset, for example. Thanks

Tom
