Dear all, I am using np package in order to estimate a model with Klein and Spady estimator. To estimate the model I use KS <- npindexbw (xdat=X, ydat=Y, bandwidth.compute=TRUE, method="kleinspady", optim.maxit=10^3, ckertype="epanechnikov", ckerorder=2) and to estimate beta hats standard errors I use KSi <- npindex(KS, gradients=T, boot.num=300) vcov(KSi) This is fine so far, but if I want to estimate the bootstrapped standard errors on estimates by se(KSi) then the result is NA and if I include the argument errors=TRUE instead of the d...
