Hi Allin, Sven
I downloaded the updated 64 version, gretl_install-64.exe, June 2 2024, from
herehttps://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/
In this version, the summary statistic of population, factorized by AreaRegion,
that I got through the drop down menu, view / summary statistics / factorized,
-does- show all digits (before the decimal point) for the mean, along with the
name of the region. And, btw, the values match the values I got from SAS.
Did the 64 version always show all the values using the drop downs to get to
the factorized summary statistic?
Thanks
Gene

Hi Allin
Thanks for responding.
"What I think we should do is make a special case of original data that take
the form of very large integers (e.g. population, and not many other things),
and show corresponding large integers for mean, median, minimum and maximum."
If gretl could show corresponding large integers, that would be great.
Thanks

It wouldn't be a great deal of work, but -- sorry -- it would be crazy. Showing
13 significant digits would be _way_ beyond the accuracy of the original data,
and doing this for several of the statistics shown by the "summary" command
would push the line length way beyond what's reasonable.
What I think we should do is make a special case of original data that take the
form of very large integers (e.g. population, and not many other things), and
show corresponding large integers for mean, median, minimum and maximum. So,
for example, 1557590 for the Australia-Oceania mean population.

I take you mean, show the sum. That's not a statistic that's often wanted, and
it's very easy to compute if you do want it, so I think probably not.
