Anutechia, What John's saying is that you need a model (ie, an estimating equaion) for the relationship between TC and LC. Suppose it's a simple linear relationship: TC = a + b*LC + u where a is a constant and u is an unpredictable error term. Then just regressing TC on LC in gretl will give you

Oscar Set up as a standard maximum likelihood maximisation program as in Chapter 10 of the users guide. You can use pdf function to calculate your likelihood or code it directly. As far as I can remember the pdf function for the t-distribution can take non integer degrees of freedom so your maxi

You must first specify some structural equation for the relationship between TC and LC, (and other relevant variables). Estimate this relationship using gretl. (How you do this depends on your model and the possible presence of other endogenous models.) You can then easily estimate the required
