Dear list subscriber, I am quite puzzled by the behaviour of processing Sweave files within an R session, i.e. Sweave("foo.Rnw") versus R CMD Sweave foo.Rnw In the former the environmental variable 'SWEAVE_STYLEPATH_DEFAULT = TRUE' is obeyed (this is set in etc/Renviron.site as well as under the users home directory in .Renviron). That is the hard-coded path to Sweave.sty is

Dear list-member, I am currently developing a package with S4 classes. The NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION is printed below. Within this package I have set a method "residuals" for two classes. In version 2.8.1 these two are reported whereas in R-Devel (2009-01-28 r47766). What have I missed? What has changed and how can I rectify the issue? Your help and pointers are welcome. For 2.8.1:

Dear R - helpers, I am using the urca package to estimate cointegration relations, and I would be really grateful if somebody could help me with this questions: After estimating the unrestriced VAR with "ca.jo" I would like to impose the rank restriction (for example rank = 1) and then obtain the restricted estimate of PI to be utilized to estimate the VECM model. Is it possible? It

Dear list subscriber (R-Core), there is a minor typo in the Windows specific NEWS for R 2.9.0: http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/CHANGES.R-2.9.0 There is no function 'memory.limits() but memory.limit() (see below). Secondly, I am kind of irritated by the function's behaviour. It returns an Error, but as it seems the memory limit is set according to the numeric value for

Dear list subscriber, suppose, I do have a minimal Sweave file 'test.Rnw': \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<printx>>= x @ \end{document} Within R, I define the following function: f <- function(x){ Sweave("test.Rnw") } The call: f(x = 1:10) results in the following error message: > f(x = 1:10) Writing to file test.tex Processing code chunks

Folks, What is the best way to simulate values from a fitted "VAR {vars}" model. Also I have tried to use SVAR for a cointegration fit of y~x (just two univariate time-series) but I can't figure out how to set up the "A" matrix so that x_t can be used as a contemporaneous predictor of y_t. Thanks much for your time, KW -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I'm using the blrtest() function in the urca package to test cointegration relationships. Unfortunately, the hypothesis (restrictions on beta) specifies the same restriction on all cointegration vectors. Is there any possibility to specify different restrictions on the cointegration vectors? Are there any other packages in R using cointegration tests? Thanks and best regards. Dennis

Hello All, I'm looking to test a variable in a logit model (glm(..., binomial(link="logit"))) for exogeneity (endogeneity). At this point I am planning to try implementing Jeffery Grogger's "A Simple Test for Exogeneity in Probit, Logit, and Poisson Regression Models", Economic Letters, 1990. To do this, I need to be able to do an instrumental variables NLS

Dear R-list subscriber, is it possible that the omegahat-site is down? I was looking for package 'RDCOMClient', but could not establish a connection. In case somebody has the latest binary zip-file for Windows, would she/he mind to send it directly to my emaim adress stated in the signature? Many thanks, and sorry for bothering/misusing R-help in this instance. Best, Bernhard Dr.

Frances, I would not advise Gauss-Seidel for non linear models. Can be quite tricky, slow and diverge. You can write your model as a non linear system of equations and use one of the nonlinear solvers. See the section "Root Finding" in the task view NumericalMathematics suggesting three packages (BB, nleqslv and ktsolve). These package are certainly able to handle medium sized models.

Who was speaking about non-linear models in the first place??? The Klein-Model(s) and pretty much all simultaneous equation models encountered in macro-econometrics are linear and/or can contain linear approximations to non-linear relationships, e.g., production functions of the Cobb-Douglas type.

Dear list-subscriber, in the process of writing a general code snippet to extract coefficients in an expression (in the example below: 0.5 and -0.7), I stumbled over the following peculiar (at least peculiar to me:-) ) sorting behaviour of the function all.names(): > expr1 <- expression(x3 = 0.5 * x1 - 0.7 * x2) > all.names(expr1) [1] "-" "*" "x1"

Dear list member, I am using the packages RDCOMClient and SWinTypeLibs and try to import a COM object (created in Delphi) in R that is of type 'early binding' instead of late 'late binding'. Is there a possibility to do this in R? Currently, the following returns an error message: l1 = LoadTypeLib("c:\\Programme\\INVESCO\\QaCalendar\\Calendar.dll")

Hi Anne, I would suggest to change the linear model to lm(BloodPressure~Age), as this model makes more sense in biological means (you would assume that age influences pressure, not vice versa) and also obeys the statistical assumption of weak exogeneity, that age can be measured without error, at least compared to error-prone bp measures.

Dear All, When I use read.xls() in gdata package to read xls files, I noticed an issue and couldn't find any solutions after I serched all previous posts. In the excel file, the number value, for example, is actually 2.3456789 but formatted as 2.3 (Format Cells ---> Decimal places:1). After I use read.xls() to import the excel file, I found that, in R, this number is read as the formatted
