similar to: IV estimation

Hi there, I am really new to statistics in R and statistics itself as well. My situation: I ran a lot of OLS regressions with different independent variables. (using the lm() function). After having done that, I know there is endogeneity due to omitted variables. (or perhaps due to any other reasons). And here comes the Hausman test. I know this test is used to identify endogeneity. But what I

Hello All, I'm looking to test a variable in a logit model (glm(..., binomial(link="logit"))) for exogeneity (endogeneity). At this point I am planning to try implementing Jeffery Grogger's "A Simple Test for Exogeneity in Probit, Logit, and Poisson Regression Models", Economic Letters, 1990. To do this, I need to be able to do an instrumental variables NLS

Hello, I see on the systemfit manual that you can estimate one-equation IV - I have a variable, and need to test if it's endogeneous, but do not need to estimate a system. Does anyone have any examples of this? Do you just run OLS with the endogenous variable, and then run a Hausmann to test endogeneity of OLS resid. vs. IV resid? Thanks in advance, DM [[alternative HTML

Hello, I have a set of data including age, wage and education level each called age76, wage76 and grade76 I want to know how i can calculate the average wage of people age 15 to 65 (each year separetly) , only for those who have an education level of 10 12 and 16... -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Conditional-average-tp4585313p4585313.html Sent from the R help

I have a set of data with 205 988 observation sand 10 variables , three of which are Legal_status, Date_of_incorporation and Last_year. I set my time horizon from 1989 to 2009. Now I want to know when a company is dead. If Last_year is bigger or equal to 2009 then I say that a new "variable" last is 2009. If Last_year is smaller than 2009 then my new variable "last" is equal

Hi, can anybody tell me how the Hausman test for endogenty works? I have a simulated model with three correlated predictors (X1-X3). I also have an instrument W for X1 Now I want to test for endogeneity of X1 (i.e., when I omit X2 and X3 from the equation). My current approach: library(systemfit) fit2sls <- systemfit(Y~X1,data=data,method="2SLS",inst=~W) fitOLS <-

Hi,I have a fundamental questions that I'm a bit confused. If any guru from this circle could help me out, I would really appreciate.I have a system of equations in which some of the endogs appear on right hand sides of some equations. To solve this, one needs a technique like 2SLS or FIML to circumvent inconsistency of the estimated coefficients. My question is that if I apply the nonlinear

Dear all, I try to conduct a SEM / two stage least squares regression with the following equations: First: X ~ IV1 + IV2 * Y Second: Y ~ a + b X therein, IV1 and IV2 are the two instruments I would like to use. the structure I would like to maintain as the model is derived from economic theory. My problem here is that I have trouble solving the equations to get the reduced form so I can run

I have a student that I'm encouraging to use R rather than SAS or Stata and within just 2 weeks he has come up with a question that stumps me. What does a person do about endogeneity in generalized linear models? Suppose Y1 and Y2 are 5 category ordinal dependent variables. I see that MASS has polr for estimation of models like that, as long as they are independent. But what if the

Hello there!!! Sorry to bother you all with such question and difficulties that I have been facing on. Recently I have been searching for packages to run GMM estimatives with R. I have been searching for such packages for a while, but since I am a new user of R system, my quest so far was unsucessful. That´s why I had decided to ask to this forum. Hope that anyone could help me! I know that

Hello, although I searched for a solution related to my problem I didn?t find one, yet. My skills in R aren?t very large, however. For my Diploma thesis I need to run a GMM estimation on a dynamic panel model using the "pgmm" - function in the plm-Package. The model I want to estimate is: "Y(t) = Y(t-1) + X1(t) + X2(t) + X3(t)" . There are no "normal" instruments

Hi - I am trying to fit sem model with intercepts. Here is what I have in my model. Exogeneous vars: x1 (continous), x2 (ordinal), x3 (ordinal), x4(continuous) Endogeneous vars: y1 (continuous), y2 (ordinal), y3 (ordinal) SEM model: x1 -> eta1; x2 -> eta1; x3 -> eta2; x4 -> eta2; eta1 -> y1, eta1 -> y2, eta2 -> y2, eta2 -> y3 However, in these arrow models, I

I am trying to generate a set of data points from a Gaussian mixture model. My mixture model is represented by a data frame that looks like this: > gmm weight mean sd 1 0.3 0 1.0 2 0.2 -2 0.5 3 0.4 4 0.7 4 0.1 5 0.3 I have written the following function that generates the appropriate data: gmm_data <- function(n, gmm) { c(rnorm(n*gmm[1,]$weight, gmm[1,]$mean,

First I have to say I am sorry because I have not been so clear in my previous e-mails. I will try to explain clearer what it is my problem. I have the following model: lnP=Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D In this model the variable Sc is endogenous and the rest are all objective exogenous variables. I verified that Sc is endogenous through a standard Hausman test. To determine this I defined before a new

Hello -- The question I have is about the gmm() function from the 'gmm' package (v. 1.4-5). The manual accompanying the package says that the gmm() function is programmed to use either of four numerical solvers -- optim, optimize, constrOptim, or nlminb -- for the minimization of the GMM objective function. I wonder whether there is a way to pass controls to a solver used while calling

Dear R Experts--- Sorry for all the questions yesterday and today. I am trying to use Yves Croissant's pgmm function in the plm package with Blundell-Bond moments. I have read the Blundell-Bond paper, and want to run the simplest model first, d[i,t] = a*d[i,t-1] + fixed[i] + u[i,t] . no third conditioning variables yet. the full set of moment conditions recommended for system-GMM,

Dear all: I'm trying to fit the optimal Box-Cox transformation related to nls (see the code below) for the demand of money data in Green (3th Edition) but in the last step R gives the next error message. Error en `[.data.frame`(eval(object$data), , as.character(formula(object)[[2]])[2]) : undefined columns selected. ?Any idea to solve the problem? Thanks in advance,

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, I have a polynomial of 2n^2-5n+3 and I have my n values going up in powers of 2 i.e. n=2,4,8,16?.. I wanted to fit this curve to the function A*n*log2(n) +B*n where A and B are to be found. How would i do this? Thank you Jaymin
