similar to: "could not find function" after import

In my own package, I want to use the default S3 method of the generic function lrtest() from the lmtest package. Since I need only one function from lmtest, I tried to use importFrom in my NAMESPACE: importFrom(lmtest, lrtest) However, this fails R CMD check in the examples: Error in UseMethod("lrtest") : no applicable method for 'lrtest' applied to an object of class

Hi, In one of my packages (maxLik), I would like to add an S3 method, where the generic function (estfun) is defined in another package (sandwich). Everything works fine if my package "Depends" on the other package and I import the generic function "estfun" from the "sandwich" package and define the new method in the NAMESPACE file. However, I prefer not to load the

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

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

Hello EVERYONE, I need an URGENT help from you please! How can I see the "estfun" (empirical estimating function) and "df" (degree of freedom) from the following mixed-model please? (fm1 <- lmer2(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Many thanks in advance for your kind help. Sattar

Hi, I am relatively new to R; when creating functions, I run into problems with missing values. I would like my functions to ignore rows with missing values for arguments of my function) in the analysis (as for example is the case in STATA). Note that I don't want my function to drop rows if there are missing arguments elsewhere in a row, ie for variables that are not arguments of my

Dear R users, I meet with an unsolved error when using the function vcovHC() in package sandwich(). I have a balanced panel dataset, and I run the following codes: > library(plm) > data<-plm.data(data, c("state","year")) > fn<-plm(y~x1+x2, data=data, method="within", effect="individual") > library(lmtest) > coeftest(fn,vcovHC(fn,

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

For block effects with small variance, lmer will sometimes estimate the variance as being very close to zero and issue a warning. I don't have a problem with this -- I've explored things a bit with some simulations (see below) and conclude that this is probably inevitable when trying to incorporate random effects with not very much data (the means and medians of estimates are plausibly

Hello R-users: Could you please tell me how can I extract the "df (degree of freedom)" and "estfun (estimating functions)" for the following lmer (or lmer2) model? wtd.mixed<-lmer(ddimer~race+steroid+psi+sofa+apache + (1|subject), method="ML", data=final, cluster="id", weights=w) I tried the following codes: - for the degree of freedom (erorr

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'm trying to evaluate a Monte Carlo p-value (using truncgof package) on a left truncated sample. >From an empirical sample I've estimated a generalized pareto distribution parameters (xi, beta, threshold) (I've used fExtremes pkg). I'm in doubt on what of the following command is the most appropriate: Let: x<-sample t<-threshold xt<-x[x>t] xihat<-gpdFit(x,

Hello, I am trying to extract an estimator for the bread of the sandwich function. I used bread(fitted model) however it seems that I have missed something as an error message "no applicable method for "bread" appears. My fitted model is a Spatial simultaneous autoregressive error model.(errorsarlm in spdep package) Can anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong? Your

Is anyone aware of a procedure to apply Newey-West corrections for autocorrelation to a SUR regression model? The SANDWICH package seems to be applicable only to LM or GLM models. Thanks, Richard Saba Department of Economics Auburn University Email: sabaric at auburn.edu

Hi All, I am using R 2.11.0 on a Ubuntu machine. I estimated a model using "tsls" from the package "sem". Is there a way to get Newey West standard errors for the parameter estimates? When estimating the model by OLS, I used "NeweyWest" from the package "sandwich" to get HAC standard errors. But, I am not able to use the same method with the results of the

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

Dear list members, A new package, called *midasr* (version 0.1), is now available on CRAN: http://cran.r-project.org/package=midasr This package provides econometric methods for working with mixed frequency data. The package provides tools for estimating the time series MIDAS regression, where the response and explanatory variables are of different frequency, e.g. quarterly vs monthly. The

Hi, I would like to estimate a panel model (small N large T, fixed effects), but would need "robust" standard errors for that. In particular, I am worried about potential serial correlation for a given individual (not so much about correlation in the cross section). >From the documentation, it looks as if the vcovHC that comes with plm does not seem to do autocorrelation, and the

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

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
