I am trying to work out a bootstrapped Tobit regression model. I get the coefficients all right, but they all have standard error zero. And I am unable to figure out why. I know the coefficients are correct because that's what I get when do a Tobit (without bootstrapping). Here's my code: # Bootstrap 95% CI for Tobit regression coeff...

Dear All, we (Ott Toomet and I) would like to add functions for maximum likelihood (ML) estimations of generalized tobit models of type 2 and type 5 (*see below) in my R package for microeconomic analysis "micEcon". So far we have called these functions "tobit2( )" and "tobit5( )". Are these classifications well known? How are these functions called in other software packages? Shoul...

Hello R-Users: I am want to use tobit regression for left censored panel/longitudinal data. Could you please provide me the name of "library" and/or "package" that will give me option of fitting tobit regression model for longitudinal data? Thank you.

Hi, I'm trying to fit a tobit regression model to some data. When fitting the exact same data in Stata, I have no problems at all, however R won't converge. Its not a maxiters thing, since I've tried increasing this already. I need to be able to fit the model in R since there are users of the code that don't have a...

Dear All: I need some guidance in calculating a goodness-of-fit statistic for a Tobit Regression model. To develop the Tobit regression, I used the tobit() method from the AER package, which is basically a simpler interface to the survreg() method. I've read about pseudo R2 and C-index and was wondering if there is a package that calculates this for me. Also, is there a re...

Hello, I am working on a Tobit Model for a consumer good, left censored with zero. Relation: Sales of product depend on price, promotion (dummy), Season(dummy) and store (dummy) Used standard Tobitmodel with package(AER) vor a 48 week period: tobitmodel<-tobit(SALE~Price+Promotion+Season+Store,data= datatobit) Now I want...

I'm statistician I need help with tobit regression Is there assumption in tobit regression ? if any, what kind of that ? please help me !!

Hi all, Quick question - Which, if any, of the R packages contains procedures for running Tobit analysis? Regards, Matt --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have an unbalanced panel of daily, county data that is naturally bounded at zero so my intention is to use a tobit. I'm using tobit from the AER package. There is cyclicality in the data for each pattern that I would like to control for before I add my variables of interest. I run the regression: derp <- tobit(x ~ factor(Month)*factor(County), data = data0, left = 0, right = Inf) If I try to summarize...

Folks, Based on http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/archives/html/s-news/1999-06/msg00125.html I thought I should experiment with using survreg() to estimate tobit models. I start by simulating a data frame with 100 observations from a tobit model > x1 <- runif(100) > x2 <- runif(100)*3 > ystar <- 2 + 3*x1 - 4*x2 + rnorm(100)*2 > y <- ystar > censored <- ystar <= 0 > y[censored] <- 0 > D <- data.frame(y, x1, x2)...

Appreciate any suggestions regarding how to fit an unbalanced panel data to a Tobit model using R functions. I am trying to analyze how real estate capital expenditures (CapEx) are affected by market conditions using a panel Tobit model. The CapEx is either positive or 0, so it is censored. The data are unbalanced panel, including the CapEx of about 5000 properties over about 40 q...

...e response variable consists of many minus ones and many different positive values that seem to follow an apparently separate distribution (ie. -1, -1, 0.5, -1, 3, 3.5, 1.2, -1, -1, 0.4, etc); no values of the response can be less than minus one or between minus and zero (exclusive). I am aware of tobit regression but unaware of exactly how to implement it in R. If anyone is able to help me on this issue I'd be extremely grateful; for example, if my (continuous) explanatory variables were x1 and x2, how should I define the model? Thank you for your time.

I need to give a quick description of Tobit Regression (TR), including how it differs from ordinary least squares (OLS). I am an ecologist who knows just enough about remote sensing and statistics to be dangerous in both. Now I have found myself doing a remote sensing project where I have used TR: survreg(Surv()). As far as I can tell, no...

Hi, How can I recover the variance-covariance matrix of the tobit model from the variance-covariance of the survreg? I first used to the survreg function and then I selected the variance matrix. However, the last parameter is log(scale) and not the variance of the standard deviation of the censored distribution as in the Tobit model. tobit<- survreg(Surv(y...

Hi there, I need to run a Tobit Fixed Effects in a panel data with 4500 units for 8 years. It is a huge data set, my dependent variable is left truncated at zero, the distribution is skewed and my panel is balanced. Any suggestions on how to do that in R? I tried stuff like survreg, censReg, and tobit but none of them were sati...

Does anyone have an R function for the estimation of Tobit regression models (for censored responses), as described, e.g., in Davidson, R. and MacKinnon, J.G., 1993, Section 15.7, Estimation and Inference in Econometrics, Oxford University Press?

Hi, R users, I'm running a Tobit model but convergence can not be reached within 30 iterations. Is there anyway I can change the max number of iterations? Thanks. Gary [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
