Dear R users, I am happy to announce the initial release of the "mvProbit" package on CRAN (version 0.1-0). This package provides tools for econometric analysis with Multivariate Probit Models. While these models can be estimated also by several other statistical software packages (e.g. LIMDEP/NLOGIT, STATA), "mvProbit" is much more flexible and powerful in calculating

Hi everyone, I'm using the poLCA module for some analysis work. Basically, Im using the command >poLCA(f, data=response,nclass=2) This returns a poLCA object (a list) >From this data, I need to retrieve certain indexes, such as[[5]] as seen below. [[5]] Pr(1) Pr(2) Pr(3) class 1: 0 1.0 0.0 class 2: 0 0.5

Hello, I want to perform a latent class analysis using poLCA package. My formula is: substances <- cbind(subs1, subs2, subs3, subs4, subs5, subs6) ~ gender+age+education+income+occupation+urban+dbehavior+incarceration+treatment+depression+alcriteria I want to include sample weights in the model, I have read that poLCA does not take into account weights, but when I introduce them, it seems

Dear all, I'm an Sri Lankan undergraduate student. I'm also a total newbie to R. My aim is to use the poLCA package to do a latent class analysis. I found the documentation very helpful, but need to make a small clarification that has stumped me awhile. In my work, I need to make provision for conditional dependence. I'm told that poLCA lets you do that. Unfortunately, I

What's the best approach to running latent class analysis with R? I've downloaded both randomLCA and poLCA packages, but I am interesting in running a standard LCA with individual records (not frequency table) as input data.

Hi everyone? Does anybody know how can I estimate a Latent class multinomial (or conditional) logit using R? I have tried flexmix, poLCA, and they do not seem to support this model. thanks in advance adan -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Latent-class-multinomial-or-conditional-logit-using-R-tp4230083p4230083.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Hi, I am working with -poLCA- which uses the package -scatterplot3d- in order to work. However, I work on a restricted server that is not online. The R-version installed there is 2.6. However, running library(poLCA) after installing the most recent -scatterplot3d- on the server leaves me with R telling me that scatterplot3d needs R-version 2.7 or a more recent versions. Since I cannot install the

Hi there, I have the following problem: I have a package called "polLCA" which has the following syntax: poLCA(formula, data) and needs the following formula definition: formula <- cbind(V1,V2,V3,...) So far so good. What I tried now was the following: #Get "data" with the "read.table" fuction data <- read.table("d:/ .....) #Select cols to use in the

My problem is I have data with both categorial and numerical data, currently only the categorical number contains missing data, was wondering do I make a new dataframe containing only the categorical columns? How would you use Latent Class Model specifically poLCA to impute the missing data? http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/polisci/faculty/lewis/pdf/poLCA-JSS-final.pdf The reason why I chose not to

Hi, I am running some latent class models with civariates using poLCA in R, and have a question the meaning of some error messages. My model has 8 y-variables (dichotomous) and 2 x-variables (also dichotomous), and I am trialling different numbers of classes. When I run a 2-class model, the model runs fine without any error messages. I used the nrep = 10 option to avoid local maxima. Class %

Dear All, I would like to publish a function for 'heckit' estimations together with two examples from Greene's and Wooldridge's econometric textbooks. These examples use the dataset of Mroz (1987) that is also available in John Fox' "car" package. However, not all variables that are used in my examples are available in the "car" package. Therefore, I

Hello all, I hope this question is appropriate for this ML. Basically, I am wondering if when you create a new variable, if the variable holds some information about how it was created. Let me explain, I have the following code to replicate an example in a textbook (Greene's Econometric Analysis), using the systemfit package. dta <-

Hi all, Sorry to bother you. I'm estimating a discrete choice model in R using the maxBFGS command. Since I wrote the log-likelihood myself, in order to double check, I run the same model in Limdep. It turns out that the coefficient estimates are quite close; however, the standard errors are very different. I also computed the hessian and outer product of the gradients in R using the

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

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 satisfactory. Thanks, *Felipe Nunes* CAPES/Fulbright Fellow PhD

Hi everyone, I'm an R newbie working with the poLCA module. I achieved my target without having to bother anyone, but It seems that I've got stuck at the last minute. My problem is simple. I need to write my results into a file. My results are in the shape of a list (unbalanced columns) I've considered several methods (sink(), write.file) etc. etc. Unfortunately, I'm not the best
