[Gretl-users] how to activate x-12-arima?

[Qi Shi]

Hi

i have installed x-12-arima for Windows, but the button is still not
activated. why?

best,

[Leandro Zipitria]

Hi, the problem should be that the path to the program is wrong.
Go to Tool\Prerences\General, there click on Programs. Here you will find
the path to all programs that Gretl use. You can click on Browse and find
the path to arima-x12 by yourself if it is not there.

Regards
Leandro

Dear Qi Shi,

Please go to "Tools -> Preferences -> General" and select the
"Programs" tab. In that tab you will find "Path to x12arima", click
in the "Browse..." button and select the folder where you installed
X-12-Arima.

Best,

Probably a useless sugesstion, but you never know: be sure to open a
time-series dataset before you try. If gretl sees your data as
cross-section, the x12 menu entry will be greyed out.

Yes, but not only that: to use the menu item "/Variable/X-12-ARIMA
analysis" the time-series data must be of a frequency that
x12a can handle, namely quarterly or monthly. You can check this
by opening the (supplied) Ramanathan data set data9-7, which
is quarterly: if x12a is installed correctly that menu item should
be active.
