Mebane, Jr. <wrm1 at cornell.edu>, Jasjeet Singh Sekhon <jasjeet_sekhon at harvard.edu> Maintainer: Jasjeet Singh Sekhon <jasjeet_sekhon at harvard.edu> Description: overdispersed multinomial regression using robust (LQD and tanh) estimation Depends: R (>= 1.7.0), rgenoud (>= 1.22...

...although the procedure becomes exponentially more data-intensive as the number of latent dependent variables increases. The update to version 1.04 was not announced; only minor modifications were made to ensure compatibility with R 1.9. The update to version 1.05 permits the use of Sekhon and Mebane's GENOUD optimizer for likelihood surfaces that are convoluted and therefore contain multiple local maxima. Because this procedure can produce such surfaces quite easily, the use of GENOUD is recommended. Bear F. Braumoeller Associate Professor Department of Government Harvard University...

Dear Friends, I have been trying to learn how to use the derivative free optimization algorithms implemented in the package RGENOUD by Mebane and Sekhon. However, it does not seem to work for reasons best described as my total ignorance. If anybody has experience using this package, it would be really helpful if you can point out where I'm making a mistake. Thanks in advance Anup Sample code attached library(rgenoud) nobs <...

...uded attendees from around the world and featured keynote presentations from prominent academics and practitioners. 2009-2010 presenters names and presentations are online at the conference website. We anticipate another exciting line-up for 2011 including keynote presentations from John Bollinger, Mebane Faber, Stefano Iacus, and Louis Kates. Additional details will be announced via the conference website http://www.RinFinance.com/ as they become available. For the program committee: Gib Bassett, Peter Carl, Dirk Eddelbuettel, Brian Peterson, Dale Rosenthal, Jeffrey Ryan, Joshua Ulrich

R community: We're excited to post a preliminary agenda for the upcoming 3rd conference on R and Applied Finance, to be held in Chicago on April 29th and 30th. In addition to keynotes from John Bollinger, Mebane Faber, Stefano Iacus and Louis Kates, we are excited to have 31 additional talks covering the state of R and applied finance. This represents a phenomenal opportunity to meet and interact with some of the leading contributors in the field of finance, all with relevant contributions using R. We e...

Hi R-masters I need yours help about a problema in one of may ongoing researchers. In my research the subjects (20 in total) answer 60 questions (20 type G, 20 type S and 20 type P). Which questions is classified about 3 factor (2 level each) and the subject score with 2 scale (not integer value is possible but rare): Val range -7 to 7 and other Car range 1 to 7. This a code to fake database
