Hi, I have a dataframe (say myData) and want to get a list (say myList) that contains a matrix for each row of the dataframe myData. These matrices are calculated based on the corresponding row of myData. Using a for()-loop to do this is very slow. Thus, I tried to use apply(). However, afaik apply() does only return a list if the matrices have different dimensions, while my matrices have

Dear R Users: The functions of our "micEcon" package [1,2] can be subdivided into three categories: - microeconomic demand and firm models - sample selection models (mainly selection()) - routines for (likelihood) maximisation (e.g. maxLik(), maxNR(), maxBHHH()) (mainly used for ML estimation of sample selection models) Although sample selection models are often used in

Hi, I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function "predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm" has also more

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

Is there a package in R that handles general linear (in-)equality + box constrained optimization? If it is not there, could anyone advise me which way to go? And/or point me to packages that solve these problems partially? best, ingmar -- Ingmar Visser Department of Psychology, University of Amsterdam Roetersstraat 15, 1018 WB Amsterdam The Netherlands http://users.fmg.uva.nl/ivisser/ tel:

Hello to everyone, I have 2 problems and would be very pleased if anyone can help me: 1) When I use the package "systemfit" for SUR regressions, I get two different variance-covariance matrices when I firstly do the SUR regression ("The covariance matrix of the residuals used for estimation") and secondly do the OLS regressions. In the manual for "systemfit" on page

Hi, I did not find any web page about using R in economics and econometrics so far. However, this does not mean that there is none (searching with google for "R" and "economics" gives many pages about economics and a name like Firstname R. Lastname on it ;-)). Does anybody in the list does know such a web page? If not, I will be happy if you, Ajay, could build and

Hi there, I need to plot an illustrative figure without ticks, x, y labels in R. I managed to get the ticks removed, but had no luck with x, y labels. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Jin Li [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello I know how read a file in excel format into a R data frame using the RODBC library, but I don't know how write a R data frame in excel format. I don't understand the instructions from RODBC user manual. To read an excel file I use. library(RODBC); conex<-odbcConnectExcel("fis_quim.xls"); sqlTables(conex); data<-sqlFetch(conex,"hoja1"); Suppose I

Dear All, we (Ott Toomet and I) would like to add functions for maximum likelihood (ML) estimations of generalized tobit models of type 2 and type 5 (*see below) in my R package for microeconomic analysis "micEcon". So far we have called these functions "tobit2( )" and "tobit5( )". Are these classifications well known? How are these functions called in other

Hi, since nobody answered to my first message, I try to explain my problem more clearly and more general this time: I have a data set in my R package "micEcon", which has many variables (82). Therefore, I would like to avoid to describe all variables in the "\format" section of the documentation (.Rd file). However, doing this lets "R CMD check" complain about

Hi, I have a vector, which contains both strings and numbers, e.g. > foo <- c("str1",1234,"str2",0.9876) I want to know if a distinct element of the vector is a string or a number and took "is.numeric", but > is.numeric(foo[2]) [1] FALSE because R treats the numbers in a mixed vectors as strings: > foo [1] "str1" "1234"

Hi, I added the "tests" subdirectory and a test file (say "myTest.R") to our "systemfit" package. Up to now I create the "myTest.Rout.save" file with > R CMD BATCH --vanilla myTest.R myTest.Rout.save However, "R CMD check" reports two differences between myTest.Rout.save and the output of myTest.R: a) myTest.Rout.save contains following

I am confused by the following description in http://www.maths.lth.se/help/R/.R/library/systemfit/html/hausman.systemfit.html what does the "Not run" mean? if we do not load systemfit, how can we run the following code? ## Not run: library( systemfit ) data( kmenta ) attach( kmenta ) ... I install the package of systemfit, and run the code. I got the warning: > library( systemfit

Hello folks, I am trying to estimate the two-step Heckman regression model. I would like to make an adjustment for intragroup correlations. Stata can implement this with the "cluster" option, but I am really hoping to stick with R. It seems that the micEcon package is the primary source for this two-step regression model (i.e., heckit), but I can't find a way to make the

Dear all, I am trying to find a solution satisfying the below equations in R. Set up the problem 9 X1+ X2 + X3 = 2 X1+ X2 + X3 = 1 which is subjected to 0 < X1 < X2 < X3 < 2. I have downloaded the packages \'linprog\' and \'lpSolve\' but can not see how to solve the question. Thank you for your help. With
