similar to: strucchange breakpoints r-squared

Dear R-Team, Am I right supposing that the "breakpoints()" function in the strucchange package is an implementation of the pure structural change model proposed by Bai and Perron (1997, 2003)? My question relates to a partial structural change model that Bai and Perron formulate in their 2003 paper, e.g. formulated as y = x' beta + z' delta_j + epsilon, where beta and delta

Hi, I need to fit a piecewise linear regression. x = c(6.25,6.25,12.50,12.50,18.75,25.00,25.00,25.00,31.25,31.25,37.50,37.50,50.00,50.00,62.50,62.50,75.00,75.00,75.00,100.00,100.00) y = c(0.328,0.395,0.321,0.239,0.282,0.230,0.273,0.347,0.211,0.210,0.259,0.186,0.301,0.270,0.252,0.247,0.277,0.229,0.225,0.168,0.202) there are two change points. so the fitted curve should look like \ \ /\

Dear Forum, I have been wracking my head over this problem for the past few days. I have a dataset of (x,y). I have been able to obtain a nonlinear regression line using nls. However, we would like to do some statistical analysis. I would like to obtain a confidence interval for the curve. We thought we could divide up the curve into piecewise linear regressions and compute CIs from those

When I run the code below on Macintosh and Windows, the plot comes out fine. However, on Linux, the png generated is invalid from R console, and loading strucchange crashes rkward. Is this a known issue on Linux and, if so, is there a workaround? Many thanks! require(strucchange) data("RealInt") bp.ri <- breakpoints(RealInt~1, h=15) summary(bp.ri) fac.ri <- breakfactor(bp.ri,

HI i'm trying to detect breaks points in various flow time series, they all contains seasonality and trend my question is : i have to remove this seasonality and trend before apply the function breakpoints du package strucchange?? another question, the function breakpoints is similar to de Pettit tests ? or how does it realy works?

Hi all, Within a foreach loop with doSNOW, we cant call functions which come from the non-default package. We need to load(require/library) the package once more within the foreach loop. Anyone knows why would happen like this? Is it caused by the snow package and something happened when "snow" parallelize the job? Other than load the package once more with in the foreach loop, is

If I try the breakpoints() function (strucchange package) with a minimum segment size = the number of regressors, there appears the following error message: "minimum segment size must be greater than the number of regressors" According to the documentation: "breakpoints implements the algorithm described in Bai & Perron (2003) for simultaneous estimation of multiple

Hola! I am using package strucchange, and encounters the following: > bp <- breakpoints(diesel90 ~ regress -1, h=NULL) Error in La.chol2inv(x, size) : element (14, 14) is zero, so the inverse cannot be computed The obvious problems have been checked, that is, the model matrix is of full rank. What can be causing this? I can send some data if that can be of help. Kjetil Halvorsen

Hello, we want to identify breakpoints (different phases) in environmental data, algae cell counts of three years with intervals between 7 and 30 days (N=40). We found that breakpoints(cells ~1) works great and identifies 5 very good breaks, however we are uncertain about these, because the data are unequally spaced. Is there a way to include the information about the measurement intervals,

Hi, I am new to R. I am using strucchange to get the breakpoints in time series dataset. So the problem I am facing is: I want to link the result generated by the breakpoints to further analysis (for eg. generating volatility for each group). The result is in following form: --------------------------------------- > res <- gbreakpoints(GDP.new ~ 1,data=a,h=2,breaks=6) > res

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

Hello R-users! I tried to find a package to run a CHOW TEST. As a reference package I found the STRUCCHANGE package. Do you know if it works well otherwise can you recommend a different one?

Stephen, thanks for your effort. The more appropriate list for this discussion is probably R-devel (as far as I understand it) so I've moved the discussion there. Related topics have already been discussed in the past. Specifically, I remember contributions by Paul Johnson ("rockchalk" package) and John Fox ("effects" and "car" package) as their packages

thank you, achim. I will try chol2inv. sandwich is a very nice package, but let me make some short suggestions. I am not a good econometrician, so I do not know what prewhitening is, and the vignette did not explain it. "?coeftest" did not work after I loaded the library. automatic bandwidth selection can be a good thing, but is not always. as to my own little function, I like the

Hi, I am using the Strucchange package in R to test for structural change in regression coeffcient. Given a model y = b0 + b1*X + b2*Z, the Fstats test whether there is a change in both b1 and b2 over a time period. Is there any way where I can restrict the test to hold b2 constant and test for break in only b1? That is, instead of a pure structural change, could I test for partial structural

Hello there, I have a linear regression model for which I estimated heteroskedasticity-robust (Huber-White) standard errors using the coeftest function in the lmtest-package. Now I would like to inspect the predicted values of the dependent variable for particular groups and include a confidence interval for this prediction. My question: is it possible to estimate confidence intervals for the

Hi I fitted an ARIMA model using the function arima(). The output consists of the fitted coefficients with their standard errors. However i need information about the significance of the coefficients, like p-values. I hope you can help me on that issue... ciao Stefan

Hi, I have a simple linear regression for which I want to obtain HAC corrected standard errors, since I have significant serial/auto correlation in my residuals, and also potential heteroskedasticity. Would anyone be able to direct me to the function that implements this in R? It's a basic question and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here. I looked up this post:

I am trying to understand my population abundance data and am looking into analyses of change point to try and determine, at approximately what point do populations begin to change (either decline or increasing). Can anyone offer suggestions on ways to go about this? I have looked into bcp and strucchange packages but am not completely convinced that these are appropriate for my data. Here is

Dear all, I'm trying to understand how the strucchange package is working and I have been looking at the examples given for the Fstats() function. The first example (Nile), shows one peak in the F-stats and one breakpoint is estimated, that can be plotted using the following code ## Nile data with one breakpoint: the annual flows drop in 1898 ## because the first Ashwan dam was built
