R:Maximum likelihood estimation using BHHH and BFGS
Dear R users, I am new to R. I would like to find *maximum likelihood estimators for psi and alpha* based on the following *log likelihood function*, c is consumption data comprising 148 entries: fn<-function(c,psi,alpha) { s1<-sum(for(i in 1:n){(c[i]-(psi^(-1/alpha)*(lag(c[i],-1))))^2* (lag(c[i],-1)^((-2)*(alpha+1)) )}); s2<- sum(for(m in 1:n){log(lag(c[m],-1)^(((2)*alpha)+2))});

Mixed logit models with a random coefficient
Hi All, Sorry to bother you. I'm trying to estimate a set of discrete choice data in R with mixed logit models where one coefficient is random and normally distributed. I've searched on the R help archive and don't see much information very specific to what I'm doing, so I write the code myself, which involves simulated maximum likelihood. But it doesn't work, as I compare

Problem with constrained optimization with maxBFGS
Dear all, I need to maximize the v: v= D' W D D is a column vector ( n , 1) W is a given matrix (n, n) subject to: sum D= 1 (BTW, n is less than 300) I´ve tried to use maxBFGS, as follows: ##################################### objectiveFunction<-function(x) { return(t(D)%*%W%*%D) } Amat<-diag(nrow(D)) Amat<-rbind((rep(-1, nrow(D))), Amat) bvec<-matrix( c(0), nrow(D)+1,

saddle points in optim
Hi, I've been trying to use optim to minimise least squares for a function, and then get a guess at the error using the hessian matrix (calculated from numDeriv::hessian, which I read in some other r-help post was meant to be more accurate than the hessian given in optim). To get the standard error estimates, I'm calculating sqrt(diag(solve(x))), hope that's correct. I've found

Latent Class Logit Models in discrete choice experiments
Dear R users, I would like to perform Latent Class Logit Models for the analysis of choice experiments in environmental valuation. This kind of analysis is usually performed with NLogit Software (http://www.limdep.com). I attach the results I usually obtain using NLogit and NLogit model specifications. For Random parameter models and Logit Models I usually perform my analysis with the package

[External] Re: unable to access index for repository...
Oh Hi Arne, You may recall we visited with this before. I do not believe the problem is algorithm specific. The algorithms I use the most often are BFGS and BHHH (or maxBFGS and maxBHHH). For simple econometric models such as probit, Tobit, and evening sample selection models, old and new versions of R work equally well (I write my own programs and do not use ones from AER or sampleSekection).

hessian fails for box-constrained problems when close to boundary?
Hi I am trying to recover the hessian of a problem optimised with box-constraints. The problem is that in some cases, my estimates are very close to the boundary, which will make optim(..., hessian=TRUE) or optimHessian() fail, as they do not follow the box-constraints, and hence estimate the function in the unfeasible parameter space. As a simple example (my problem is more complex though,

Multinomial Nested Logit package in R?
Dear R-Help, I'm hoping to find a Multinomial Nested Logit package in R. It would be great to find something analogous to "PROC MDC" in SAS: > The MDC (Multinomial Discrete Choice) procedure analyzes models > where the > choice set consists of multiple alternatives. This procedure > supports conditional logit, > mixed logit, heteroscedastic extreme value,

beta regression in R
Hello, I'm using optim to program a set of mle regression procedures for non-normal disturbances. This is for teaching and expository purposes only. I've successfully programmed the normal, generalized gamma, gamma, weibull, exponential, and lognormal regression functions. And optim returns reasonable answers for all of these compared with the identical optimization problems in STATA and

Incorrect degrees of freedom for splines using GAMM4?
Hello, I'm running mixed models in GAMM4 with 2 (non-nested) random intercepts and I want to include a spline term for one of my exposure variables. However, when I include a spline term, I always get reported degrees of freedom of less than 1, even when I know that my spline is using more than 1 degree of freedom. For example, here is the code for my model: >

AIC for comparing GLM(M) with (GAM(M)
Hello I'm analyzing a dichotomous dependent variable (dv) with more than 100 measurements (within-subjects variable: hours24) per subject and more than 100 subjects. The high number of measurements allows me to model more complex temporal trends. I would like to compare different models using GLM, GLMM, GAM and GAMM, basically do demonstrate the added value of GAMs/GAMMs relative to

Order of methods for optimx
Dear R-er, For a non-linear optimisation, I used optim() with BFGS method but it stopped regularly before to reach a true mimimum. It was not a problem with limit of iterations, just a local minimum. I was able sometimes to reach better minimum using several rounds of optim(). Then I moved to optimx() to do the different optim rounds automatically using "Nelder-Mead" and

Help with graphics in gamm4 library
My problem is relatively straight forward, but I cannot seem to find a way to make it work. I have a RCBD with repeated measurements over time. I have created a fit using the gamm4 package. My model is: fit4a <- gamm4(Rate ~ s(Time,by=trt,bs="cr")+trt,data=qual.11.dat, random=~(1|block),correlation=corARH1()) What I would like to create is plots with the X-axis

Any numeric differentiation routine in R for boundary points?
Hi, I have a scalar valued function with several variables. One of the variables is restricted to be non-negative. For example, f(x,y)=sqrt(x)*exp(y), then x should be non-negative. I need the gradient and hessian for some vector (0,y), i.e., I need the gradient and hessian at the boudary of parameter space. The "numderiv" package does not work, even for f(x)=sqrt(x), if you do

mgcv and gamm4: REML, GCV, and AIC
Hi, I've been using gamm4 to build GAMMs for exploring environmental influences on genetic ancestry. Things have gone well and I have 2 very straightforward questions: 1. I've used method=REML. Am I correct that this is an alternative method for estimating the smooth functions in GAMMs rather than GCV that is often used for GAMs? I've read up on REML and it makes sense, but I'm

conducting GAM-GEE within gamm4?
Dear R-help users, I am trying to analyze some visual transect data of organisms to generate a habitat distribution model. Once organisms are sighted, they are followed as point data is collected at a given time interval. Because of the autocorrelation among these "follows," I wish to utilize a GAM-GEE approach similar to that of Pirotta et al. 2011, using packages 'yags' and
