Dear all, how can I use vcovHC() to get robust/corrected standard errors from an arima() output? I ran an arima model with AR(1) and got the estimate, se, zvalue and p-value using coeftest(arima.output). However, I cannot use vcovHC(arima.output) to get corrected standard errors. It seems vcovHC works only with lm and p...

Dear R users, I meet with an unsolved error when using the function vcovHC() in package sandwich(). I have a balanced panel dataset, and I run the following codes: > library(plm) > data<-plm.data(data, c("state","year")) > fn<-plm(y~x1+x2, data=data, method="within", effect="individual") > library(lmtest) > co...

...sis (countries over years) with SEs clustered by country. ?The original analysis was done in Stata 10 with: xtreg [DV] [IVs] fe cluster(country). Using plm() in R (cran.r-project.org/web/packages/plm/index.html), I've replicated the coefficients. I sought to estimate country-clustered SEs with vcovHC(), and tried a variety of options, but couldn't exactly replicate the published (i.e., Stata 10's) SEs. In R, vcovHC(x, method="arellano", type="HC1", cluster="group") came closest to Stata's SEs (differing at the 3rd decimal place or so). Does anyone happ...

Hi, I'm using maxlik with functions specified (L, his gradient & hessian). Now I would like determine some robust standard errors of my estimators. So I 'm try to use vcovHC, or hccm or robcov for example but in use one of them with my result of maxlik, I've a the following error message : Erreur dans terms.default(object) : no terms component Is there some attributes to give to maxlik objet for "fitting" the call of vcovHC?

...udentized Breusch-Pagan test data: lmfit BP = 11.6768, df = 1, p-value = 0.0006329 From the above, if I'm interpreting this correctly, there is Heteroskedasticity present. To correct for this, I need to calculate robust error terms.

Hello, I've got a question concerning the usage of robust standard errors in regression using lm() and exporting the summaries to LaTeX using the memisc-packages function mtable(): Is there any possibility to use robust errors which are obtained by vcovHC() when generating the LateX-output by mtable()? I tried to manipulate the lm-object by appending the "new" covariance matrix but mtable seems to generate the summary itself since it is not possible to call mtable(summary(lm1)). I'd like to obtain a table with the following structu...

When using function heckit() from package ‘sampleSelection’, is there anyway to make t-tests for the coefficients using robust covariance matrix estimator? By “robust” I mean something like if a had an object ‘lm’ called “reg” and then used: > coeftest(reg, vcov = vcovHC(reg)). I’m asking this because in Stata we could use function heckman and then use vce option “robust”. We could do the same for cluster. In a more general way, is there anyway to use another covariance matrix to make t-test (e.g. linear hypothesis) for heckit (selection) models? Thanks, Mateus...

...ate a panel model (small N large T, fixed effects), but would need "robust" standard errors for that. In particular, I am worried about potential serial correlation for a given individual (not so much about correlation in the cross section). >From the documentation, it looks as if the vcovHC that comes with plm does not seem to do autocorrelation, and the NeweyWest in the sandwich package says that it expects a fitted model of type "lm" or "glm" (it says nothing about "plm"). How can I estimate the model and get robust standard errors? Thanks for your he...

...tinuous variable and year is a factor with various year levels. Individually, each year factor variable is not significant, but I have a suspicion they are jointly significant. I can't figure out how to run a linearHypothesis test with a factor, i.e. linearHypothesis(reg, ??? year=0 ??? , vcov=vcovHC(reg, , "HC1")) Would be very much appreciated.

I've used optim to analyze some data I have with good results, but need to correct the var-cov matrix for possible effects of clustering of observations (respondents) in small groups (non-independence). Is there any function to adjust the matrix? I heard some time ago that the vcovHC function would have a cluster capability added to it, but I don't see that in my fairly recent version. Cheers, Peter

How might you fit a generalized linear model (glm) with variance = mu+theta*mu^2 (where mu = mean of the exponential family random variable and theta is a parameter to be estimated)? This appears in Table 2.7 of Fahrmeir and Tutz (2001) Multivariate Statisticial Modeling Based on Generalized Linear Models, 2nd ed. (Springer, p. 60), where they compare "log-linear model fits to

In principle Achim is right, by default vcovHC.plm does things the "Arellano" way, clustering by group and therefore giving SEs which are robust to general heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. The problem with your data, though, is that this estimator is N-consistent, so it is inappropriate for your setting. The other way round,...

Hello Is there any function to calculate White's standard errors in R in an NLS regression. The sandwich and car package do it but they need an lm object to calculate the error's. Does anyone have idea how to do it for an NLS object ?
