similar to: robust standard errors for panel data

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 R-users, I would like to compute a robust covariance matrix of two series of realizations of random variables: ###Begin Example### data <- cbind(rnorm(100), rnorm(100)) model <- lm(data ~ 1) vcov(model) library(sandwich) NeweyWest(model) #produces an error ###End Example### NeweyWest() produces an error but sandwich(), vcovHAC(), kernHAC, weave(),... do not produce any errors. It

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 plm objects? Is there another way I can get robust/corrected

Dear R users, I have a question here library(AER) library(plm) library(sandwich) ## take the following data data("Gasoline", package="plm") Gasoline$f.year=as.factor(Gasoline$year) Now I run the following regression rhs <- "-1 + f.year + lincomep+lrpmg+lcarpcap" m1<- lm(as.formula(paste("lgaspcar ~", rhs)), data=Gasoline) ###Now I want to find the

I'm trying to replicate a time-series cross-sectional analysis (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

Thanks for the link to the data. Here's my best guess. If you use the following approach, with the HC0 type of robust standard errors in the

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

Dear all, I am working on a large dataset and need to use biglm() to perform OLS regressions. I have detected significant ARCH effects which I try to account for using the Newey-West correction. So far, I have worked with NeweyWest() in the sandwich package. NeweyWest() however seems to be unable to handle an object of class "biglm". Looking into the code, I figured out that

Hi, I am trying to obtain the heteroskedasticity consitent standard errors (HCSE) after apply 2SLS. I obtain 2SLS through tsls from package sem or systemfit: #### tsls #### library (sem) Reg2SLS <-tsls(LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D,~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D) summary (Reg2SLS) #### systemfit #### library (systemfit) RS <- LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D Inst <- ~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D labels

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

In the rockchalk package, I want to provide functions for regression objects that are "well behaved." If an object responds to the methods that lm or glm objects can handle, like coef(), nobs(), and summary(), I want to be able to handle the same thing. It is more difficult than expected to ask a given fitted model object "do you respond to these functions: coef(), nobs(),

Hi guyz, I have run my algorithm in R (see http://pastebin.com/q84Tujfg) and got the following error: Error in ar.ols(x, aic = aic, order.max = order.max, na.action = na.action, : 'order.max' must be < 'n.used' I am pretty sure, that the error comes from the NeweyWest function in line 45, as the NeweyWest function uses the ar.ols() function for pre whitening. Does anyone

dear readers---I struggled with how to do nice fixed-effects regressions in large economic samples for a while. Eventually, I realized that nlme is not really what I needed (too complex), and all I really wanted is the plm package. so, I thought I would share a quick example. ################ sample code to show fixed-effects models? in R # create a sample panel data set with firms and years

I am trying to build a package (GWASTools, submitted to Bioconductor) that uses the "sandwich" package. I have references to "sandwich" in DESCRIPTION: Imports: methods, DBI, RSQLite, sandwich, survival, DNAcopy and NAMESPACE: import(sandwich) In the code itself is a call to vcovHC: Vhat <- vcovHC(mod, type="HC0") I have sandwich version 2.2-7 installed.

thank you, achim. I will try chol2inv. sandwich is a very nice package, but let me make some short suggestions. I am not a good econometrician, so I do not know what prewhitening is, and the vignette did not explain it. "?coeftest" did not work after I loaded the library. automatic bandwidth selection can be a good thing, but is not always. as to my own little function, I like the

Preface: this is a statistical question more than an R question. I have a vector of numbers (assume a regular time series). Within this time series, I have a set of regions of interest (all of different lengths) that I want to compare against a "baseline" (which is known). There is some autocorrelation involved. I would like to determine the "significance" of the

dear R experts: I wonder whether it is possible to extend the summary method for the lm function, so that it uses an option "hccm" (well, model "hc0"). In my line of work, it is pretty much required in reporting of almost all linear regressions these days, which means that it would be very nice not to have to manually library car, then sqrt the diagonal, and recompute

Hi, I would like to estimate coefficients using poisson regression and then get standard errors that are adjusted for heteroskedasticity, using a complex sample survey data. Then I will calculate prevalence ratio and confidence intervals. Can sandwich estimator of variance be used when observations aren?t independent? In my case, observations are independent across groups (clusters), but

I want to calculate Newey West robust standard error using NeweyWest. Comparing the results to what I get in STATA, in order to get the same results in I need to specify "prewhite=0". Can someone explain what this prewhite command means? Thanks [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I have ove the robust standard error of an estimator but I don't know how to do this. The code for my regression is the following: reg<-lm(fsn~lctot) But then what do I need to do? -- Charlène Lisa Cosandier [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
