Hi, I want to have a "vignette" in one of my R packages. Hence, I added an Sweave file into the /inst/doc subdirectory of this package. Unfortunately, 'R CMD check' gives a warning: ========================================== [...] * checking tests ... OK * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ... WARNING --- f?hre texi2dvi auf Vignetten aus * creating

Team, I am trying to resolve the self-selection bias of a sample in an experiment and would like to run the Heckman Correction Estimation using R. Can someone help me with the R-Code... I tried searching for the discussion, but not successful. Thanks in advance, Best, Kishore/.. http://kaykayatisb.blogspot.com [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, R core team I am using the function {aidsEst} in package [micEcon] to do an AIDS model now. So far, everything is good. But I want to test the auto correlation and heteroskedasticity of the individual equation from AIDS demand system. How can I return the individual equation? PS: serial correlation test is {bgtest} in package [lmtest] and heteroskedasticity is {bptest} in package

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 there Within sampleSelection, I'm trying to calculate the marginal effects for variables that are present in both the selection and outcome models. For example, age might have a positive effect on probability of selection, but then a negative effect on the outcome variable. i.e. Model<-selection(participation~age, frequency~age, ...) Documentation elsewhere describes one method for

I need to estimate maximum tree crown radius and am looking for a package to prepare stochastic frontier models in R. I have not found any package references on Nabble R help, google, or R help. Any tips on a package for this? With regards, Aaron Trowbridge Researcher BV Research Centre Smithers B.C. -- View this message in context:

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, 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

Hello, I am working on reproducing someone's analysis which was done in Stata. The analysis is estimation of a standard Heckman sample selection model (Tobit-2), for which I am using the sampleSelection package and the selection() function. I have a few problems with the estimation: 1) The reported standard error for all estimates is Inf ... vcov(selectionObject) yields Inf in every

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 all, I am using aidsEst( ) in "micEconAids" package to estimate Demand system. But I would like to add more demographic variables in demand system. How can I add those information? for example: mydata<-data.frame(p1,p2,p3,p4, s1,s2,s3,s4, totalexp,

Hi, I would like to estimate a linear expendire with Systemfit package. (method: "SUR") As someone could show me how to define the equations?

Hi there everyone, I have the following model (this is naturally a simplified version just for showing my problem, in case you're wondering this is a translog cost function with the associated cost share equations): C ~ á + â1 log X + â2 log Y + ã1 log Z + ã2 log XX C1 ~ â1 + â2 log YY + ã1 log ZZ Then I have some restrictions on the coefficients, namely that the sum of â equal 1 and the

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

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

Hi, I am currently on a placement here at GSK for my studies, and I'm working on Heckman Models. I have to make simulations, in order to see whether these models are efficient or not. I have to generate a dataset under the following constraints: - outcome is 0 or 1 - one control group, one treatment group, there must be no treatment effect - generate one continuous variable and one

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, 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
