Zelig: Everyone's Statistical Software Kosuke Imai, Gary King and Olivia Lau Version 1.0 (Available at http://gking.harvard.edu/zelig) A growing proportion of statisticians and methodologists from many disciplines are converging on R, a powerful statistics package and programming language. As an open source project, R is freely

UseRs, I tried to install the MatchIt package on Ubuntu 7.04. When loading required dependencies I got the following error message: Error in dyn.load(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now)) : unable to load shared library '/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/optmatch/libs/optmatch.so': /usr/local/lib/R/site-library/optmatch/libs/optmatch.so: cannot map zero-fill pages: Cannot

Dear R users, I am trying to estimate to estimate the average treatmen effect on the treated (ATT) using first the MatchIt software to weight the data set and, after this, the Zelig software as shown in Ho et al. (2007). See here for an explanation of how to apply this technique in R: http://imai.princeton.edu/research/files/matchit.pdf I encounter a slight problem when I apply the weights that

Dear all, Does anybody know why the following code returns an error message? >library(MatchIt) >library(Zelig) >data(lalonde) > >m.out1<-matchit(treat~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married +re74+re75, method="full", data=lalonde) > >z.out1<-zelig(re78~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married+re74+re75, data=match.data(m.out1, "control"),

Hi there, I'm wondering what Zelig in the following situation (code below) actually does. Is this considered as a so called regression adjustment after the propensity score matching? library(MatchIt) library(Zelig) data(lalonde) re78 represents the outcome variable 1. With Zelig m.out <- matchit(treat ~ age + educ + black + hispan + married + nodegree + re74 + re75, data = lalonde)

Hi All Please see the Rprofile file which i have modified as follows and after that when I start R then I see that R says to me "TRUE" for all the packages implying that all loaded at once. But when i try to use commands as simple as help("lm"), it doesnt work nor any of the menu "Packages" is not working. Although the regression using lm ( Y ~ X ) is working

UseMethod has since the beginning had the 'feature' that local variables in the generic are added to the environment in which the method body is evaluated. This is documented in ?UseMethod and R-lang.texi, but use of this 'feature' has been explicitly discouraged in R-lang.texi for many years. This is an unfortunate design decision for a number of reasons (see below), so the plan

Hola a todos! Espero que alguien me pueda echar algo de luz al problema que tengo. Estoy intentando instalar algunos paquetes antiguos en R (3.3.0), como ?devtools? en su penúltima versión, y me está resultando imposible. Instalé Rtools y R me dice que funciona, pero no consigo hacer que se instale el paquete. He probado bajando el paquete en formato .tar.gz y luego con las instrucciones:

I am fairly new at using R/programming in general so I apologize if I am leaving crucial parts of the puzzle out, but here goes. First and foremost this is the error I am receiving: Error in muPriors[priors[, 1:2]] <- priors[, 3] : NAs are not allowed in subscripted assignments This occurs only when I am using observational priors and some number of nominal variables, it does not

Is anybody working on a way to standardize the creation of "newdata" objects for predict methods? When using predict, I find it difficult/tedious to create newdata data frames when there are many variables. It is necessary to set all variables at the mean/mode/median, and then for some variables of interest, one has to insert values for which predictions are desired. I was at a

R-devel, There has been some confusion on the MatchIt package mailing list on the meaning of [--install=no] in the comment column of CRAN's automated package check. It's my understanding that, at the very least, a package marked like this will not have its test cases run each night. Are there other checks that are omitted? How, if at all, are such install flags related to the

hello all I am using the R package Zelig for some tobit regression with robust standard errors. I have got R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) and Zelig Version: 3.4-5 when i do demo(robust) It ends like this way data(coalition) > # Fit the model with robust standard error > user.prompt() Press <return> to continue: > z.out3 <- zelig(Surv(duration, ciep12) ~ polar + numst2 +

Hello , My optmatch package is loaded on R and otherwise running fine. I get an error after lcds successfully completes a logistic regression and I then try to obtain a propensity score: pdist <- pscore.dist(lcds) Error: could not find function "pscore.dist" Does anyone know if pscore.dist is part of the optmatch package, or is it contained in another package that I need to

Hello, I am trying to use R for propensity score matching in SPSS.? I have version 21 of SPSS and I downloaded R 2.14.2 as directed as well as the R Essentials plug-in.? I have run a test for R and it appears to be running correctly.? I then downloaded psmatching3 and have tried to use the PS matching dialog in SPSS.? However, I continue to run into problems as SPSS reports that there is no

Hi there, Does anyone know how to extract data from a function that prints out two or more summaries? In the function below (the whole code is provided) we get 5 different tables of data. I would like to split each of these tables in a separate file (while the function itself shouldn't be changed), so that further analysis on each data set could be carried out. Your help is deeply
