similar to: Trouble with plm in Ubuntu 9

Hello, Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. I am running R on Ubuntu 9. R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) I am trying to work with plm. I think the library is installed, as I can do > library(plm) Loading required package: kinship Loading required package: survival Loading required package: splines Loading required package: nlme Loading required package: lattice [1] "kinship

Dear "plm"-Package insiders, [I posted the following observation is April already but unfortunately I am not aware of any answers. With the hope that someone found an answer in the mean time, I ask again:] I realized the following difficulty with the summary.plm function (demonstrated with the example from the ?plm documentation). library(plm) data("Produc",

Hi all, I have estimated a random panel model using plm function. I have a question about the vector of resduals obtained with the object $residuals. example: data("Produc", package = "plm") zz <- plm(log(gsp) ~ log(pcap) + log(pc) + log(emp) + unemp, model="random", data = Produc, index = c("state","year")) res<-zz$residuals #

Hi all, what indicates the parameter theta in the summary of a random effect panel model estimated with the plm function? example: data("Produc", package = "plm") zz <- plm(log(gsp) ~ log(pcap) + log(pc) + log(emp) + unemp, model="random", data = Produc, index = c("state","year")) summary(zz) Effects: var std.dev

Hi! I noticed that there is a (minor) bug either the command all.equal() or in the "plm" package. I demonstrate this using an example taken from the documentation of plm(): ====================================== R> data("Produc", package="plm") R> zz <- plm(log(gsp)~log(pcap)+log(pc)+log(emp)+unemp, + data=Produc,

Hello, I am trying to run a fixed effects panel regression on data containing 5 columns and 1,494 rows. I read the data in as follows: >drugsXX<-read.csv(file="C:\\Folder\\vX.X\\Drugs\\drugsXX_panel.csv", head=TRUE, sep=",") Verified it read in correctly and had a good data.frame: >dim(drugsXX) [1] 1494 5 >drugs XX produce expected data with correct column

Hi Folks, Has anyone got a compiled binary of the package 'plm' and/or of the package 'kinship' for Debian Etch? I'm asking because I'd like to install 'plm', but have failed because it depends on 'kinship', and 'kinship' refuses to compile on my Debian Etch. The underlying reason is the Debian refuses to allow me to install the development

Dear plm Package users, I use the plm package a lot but I have not updated it for some times. Now I realized the following difficulty with the summary.plm function (demonstrated with the example from the ?plm documentation). library(plm) data("Produc", package="Ecdat") estimation_method<-"within" estimation_effect<-"individual" zz

Hello, I am trying to use the plm package for panel econometrics. I am just trying to get started and load my data. It seems from most of the sample documentation that I need to use the pdata.frame function to get my data loaded. However, even after installing the "plm" package, my R installation cannot find the function. I am trying to follow the example in plmEN.pdf (

Dear all, I am trying to export my fixed effect results to Latex. I am using the plm package with the summary function. However, it does not look like apsrtable, stargazer, or any other package can accompany using the plm package. I am interested in a classic table with the coefficient in one row followed by the standard error in paranthesis in the next row and stars by the coefficient to show

Hi all, I installed all required packages for plm, but pdata.frame is not a recognized function on R to start with. I followed the first page of "introduction to plm" by Croissant&Millo, Here are the messages: * > library(plm) Loading required package: kinship Loading required package: survival Loading required package: splines Loading required package: nlme Loading required

Hi List I'm having difficulty understanding how plm should work with dynamic formulas. See the commands and output below on a standard data set. Notice that the first summary(plm(...)) call returns the same result as the second (it shouldn't if it actually uses the lagged variable requested). The third call results in error (trying to use diff'ed variable in regression) Other info:

Hello, I am trying to conduct a Hausman test to choose between FE estimators and RE estimators.

I'm unable to open an SPSS file over my network. If I copy it to my local C:/ drive I can read it. I saved the command (in a "crib sheet" text file) in order to avoid all the typing, so I'm pretty sure I've done it before. I verified that the file I'm trying to read is OK. This is what happens: > SurveyData <-

Dear R-helpers, I have a very simple question and I really hope that someone could help me I would like to estimate a simple fixed effect regression model with clustered standard errors by individuals. For those using Stata, the counterpart would be xtreg with the "fe" option, or areg with the "absorb" option and in both case the clustering is achieved with "vce(cluster

Dear List I just downloaded and installed R 2.12.0 and then installed R Commander . First it got RCmdr and Car, and then suggested for other packages for utilizing the full functionality- I clicked yes! I got 140 packages installed!!! Cran Mirror was UCLA... Here is the list. Is this intentional- I can see some packages like snow and multicore which are desirable but quite optional.(see list

Hi list, has anyone succeeded in using pgmm() on any dataset besides Arellano/Bond's EmplUK, as shown in the vignette? Whatever I try, I eventually get a runtime error because of a singular matrix at various points in pgmm.diff() (which gets called by pgmm()). For example, when estimating a "dynamic" version of the Grunfeld data: data(Grunfeld, package="Ecdat") grun

Hello again Max. A correction to my response from yesterday. Things were better than they seemed. I thought it over, checked Arellano's panel book and Driscoll and Kraay (Rev. Econ. Stud. 1998) and finally realized that vcovSCC does what you want: in fact, despite being born primarily for dealing with cross-sectional correlation, 'SCC' standard errors are robust to "both

Dear all- I am have trouble in using the model="ht" option in function plm from the plm library. I am using Package: plm Version: 1.1-1; R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) running on a FC-8 linux machine.

Hello, I am using {plm} to estimate panel models. I want to estimate a model that includes fixed effects for time and individual, but has a random individual effect for the coefficient on the independent variable. That is, I would like to estimate the model: Y_it = a_i + a_t + B_i * X_it + e_it Where i denotes individuals, t denotes time, X is my independent variable, and B (beta) is the
