gretl_model_new ()

MODEL *
gretl_model_new (void);

Allocates memory for a gretl MODEL struct and initializes the struct, using gretl_model_init().

Returns

pointer to model (or NULL if allocation fails).


gretl_model_init ()

void
gretl_model_init (MODEL *pmod,
                  const DATASET *dset);

Initializes a gretl MODEL, including setting its pointer members to NULL. This initialization should be done if the caller has declared a MODEL struct directly, rather than obtaining a pointer to MODEL using gretl_model_new() (in which case the initialization is done automatically).

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

dset

pointer to dataset.

 

gretl_model_allocate_storage ()

int
gretl_model_allocate_storage (MODEL *pmod);

Allocates space for coefficients and standard errors, residuals and fitted values in pmod . The sizes of the arrays are based on the ncoeff and full_n members of pmod , which must be set first. The residuals and fitted values are initialized to gretl's missing value.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

Returns

0 on success, E_ALLOC on error.


gretl_model_array_new ()

MODEL **
gretl_model_array_new (int n);

Allocates memory for an array of n gretl MODEL structs and initializes each model using gretl_model_init().

Parameters

n

number of models in array.

 

Returns

pointer to models array (or NULL if allocation fails).


allocate_working_model ()

MODEL *
allocate_working_model (void);

Allocates memory for gretl MODEL struct and initializes it. The model is "protected" against deletion.

Returns

pointer to model (or NULL if allocation fails).


gretl_model_array_destroy ()

void
gretl_model_array_destroy (MODEL **models,
                           int n);

Frees all resources associated with an array of models, which should have been obtained via gretl_model_array_new().

Parameters

models

array of gretl models.

 

n

number of models in array.

 

destroy_working_model ()

void
destroy_working_model (MODEL *models);

gretl_model_smpl_init ()

void
gretl_model_smpl_init (MODEL *pmod,
                       const DATASET *dset);

Records the start and end of the current sample range in the model pmod , which may be necessary for future reference if a hypothesis test is to be performed. Note that this sample range may not be the same as the data range over which the model is actually estimated (for example, in the case of autoregressive models where observations have to be dropped to allow for lags).

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

dset

dataset information.

 

impose_model_smpl ()

void
impose_model_smpl (const MODEL *pmod,
                   DATASET *dset);

Sets on dset the sample range (starting and ending observations) that was in effect when pmod was estimated. This is not always the same as the data range over which pmod was actually estimated (e.g. in case of autoregressive models, where observations are dropped to allow for lags).

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

dset

dataset information.

 

gretl_model_set_auxiliary ()

void
gretl_model_set_auxiliary (MODEL *pmod,
                           ModelAuxCode aux);

Sets an auxiliary code on pmod , which may be relevant for how the model is printed.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

aux

code indicating a model's function in an auxiliary role (typically, in relation to a hypothesis test on another model).

 

clear_model ()

void
clear_model (MODEL *pmod);

Clears a gretl MODEL, freeing all allocated storage and setting pointer members to NULL. Also frees any data pointers attached via gretl_model_set_data(). The model pointer itself is not freed, so this function may be called on a MODEL which has been declared directly by the caller; in that case the caller should pass the address of the MODEL in question.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to model.

 

gretl_model_free ()

void
gretl_model_free (MODEL *pmod);

Free allocated content of pmod then the pointer itself.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to MODEL.

 

clear_model_xpx ()

void
clear_model_xpx (MODEL *pmod);

gretl_model_free_on_exit ()

void
gretl_model_free_on_exit (MODEL *pmod);

Free allocated content of pmod then the pointer itself, without regard to the model's reference count.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to MODEL.

 

display_model_data_items ()

void
display_model_data_items (const MODEL *pmod);

bundlize_model_data_items ()

int
bundlize_model_data_items (const MODEL *pmod,
                           gretl_bundle *b);

gretl_model_set_data_with_destructor ()

int
gretl_model_set_data_with_destructor (MODEL *pmod,
                                      const char *key,
                                      void *ptr,
                                      GretlType type,
                                      size_t size,
                                      void (*destructor) (void *));

Attaches data to pmod : the data can be retrieved later using gretl_model_get_data(). Note that the data are not "physically" copied to the model; simply, ptr is recorded on the model. This means that the data referenced by the pointer now in effect belong to pmod . When pmod is cleared with clear_model(), destructor will be invoked with ptr as its single argument. If a simple "free" is OK for freeing the data, you can use gretl_model_set_data() instead.

The size is needed in case the model is copied with copy_model(), in which case the target of the copying operation receives a newly allocated copy of the data in question.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to MODEL.

 

key

key string for data, used in retrieval.

 

ptr

data-pointer to be attached to model.

 

type

type of data to set.

 

size

size of data in bytes.

 

destructor

pointer to function that should be used to free the data-pointer in question.

 

Returns

0 on success, 1 on failure.


gretl_model_set_data ()

int
gretl_model_set_data (MODEL *pmod,
                      const char *key,
                      void *ptr,
                      GretlType type,
                      size_t size);

Attaches data to pmod : the data can be retrieved later using gretl_model_get_data(). Note that the data are not "physically" copied to the model; simply, ptr is recorded on the model. This means that the data referenced by the pointer now in effect belong to pmod . The data pointer will be freed when pmod is cleared with clear_model(). If the data has deep structure that requires special treatment on freeing, use gretl_model_set_data_with_destructor() instead.

The size is needed in case the model is copied with copy_model(), in which case the target of the copying operation receives a newly allocated copy of the data in question.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to MODEL.

 

key

key string for data, used in retrieval.

 

ptr

data-pointer to be attached to model.

 

type

type of the data to set.

 

size

Attaches an allocated set of variable names to be used when printing model results, for use in special cases where we can't just reference names from the list of regressors attached to the model. The number of strings must match the number of coefficients, given by the ncoeff member of pmod .

Note that pmod "takes charge" of the array vnames : this will be freed when the model is destroyed.

Parameters

pointer to target model.

 

vnames

array of names of independent variables.

Parameters

pmod

y

array containing the dependent variable.

 

Returns

If pmod is a simple linear, quadratic or logistic model, and if xvar is in fact the "x" variable from the model, returns a string representing the formula for generating the fitted values as a function of x. This formula may be used in the context of a fitted versus actual plot.

Parameters

dset

dataset information.

 

Returns

formula for fitted values, or NULL if this is not available.

Sets the name of the given model; this is used in printing the model and in displaying it in the gretl GUI. Note that a model's name must be no more than MAXSAVENAME bytes in length, including the terminating NUL byte; name is truncated if it is too long.

Parameters

pmod

pointer to target model.

 

name

the name to give the model.

const char *
gretl_model_get_name (const MODEL *pmod);
