[Gretl-users] A Newbie Needs Help

[scottd.orr at comcast.net]

I'll probably just try to do an adequate job of it for now (the paper needs to be ready for a conference), but I can redo the analysis before submitting it to a journal.

I think though that I can pretty much do everything I need to do using the arbond estimation (and I've found sources for the data I'll needed), with the exception of the categorical problem--mind you, I can always use the time-honored cop-out of taking the log of the number of deaths.
