2013-06-14 Thread Gabriela Nodari
Dear gretl users, I would like to obtain simulated data by bootstrapping the residuals of a VAR model. I have gave a look to the gretl guide, and I found something related to resampling and bootstrapping (section 7.4), actually, I would like to adapt the following example - 7.1 in the guide -
