Hello everyone, I have a peoblem to create the twoways effect in the plm package. when i try to create the following dsn1<-plm(lnQ~lnC+lnL+lnM+lnE+eco+RD,data=newdata,effect="twoways",model="within") i have this error: Error in rep.int(c(1, numeric(n)), n - 1L) : negative length vectors are not allowed and to be honest i have no idea what does it mean!! can someone

Dear R users I get different F-statistic results for a "within" model, when using "time" or "twoways" effects in plm() [1] and when manually specifying the time control dummies [2]. [1] vignette("plm") [2] http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Farnsworth-EconometricsInR.pdf Two examples below: library("AER") data("Grunfeld", package =

Hello to all on the list, I'm trying to estimate a fixed effects model from a large (unbalanced) panel data set. I have no problems when using only an individual effect or only a time effect, but I get an error message when I try for a "twoways" effect. Here is some of the code: paneldata27 is the entire panel data set: > dim(paneldata27) [1] 1178831 8 >

Hi, I am trying to estimate a two-way model with both individual and time fixed effects. I am using plm with "twoways" specification. plm(as.integer(yvar) ~ xvar, index = c("id", "time"), model="within", data=dataset, effect = "twoways") But I get keep getting the following message and I don't know what to do about it, because I don't

hi, i am writing my master thesis and i am dealing with 146474 observations (panel data), i have just learned the R so i am a beginner!! i am trying to use the "plm" package and i have a duplication problem; i have written the following commands to read my data and create my model >dsn<-plm.data(ds, c("stno", "year")) ds=name of my data, stno=individual

Hello, I am using {plm} to estimate panel models. I want to estimate a model that includes fixed effects for time and individual, but has a random individual effect for the coefficient on the independent variable. That is, I would like to estimate the model: Y_it = a_i + a_t + B_i * X_it + e_it Where i denotes individuals, t denotes time, X is my independent variable, and B (beta) is the

Hello, I have posted this problem before, but thought I try to explain it a bit better. I'm using the function plm to create a fixed effects model for panel data, my method is therefor "within" my effect is "twoways". My Data contains unbalanced Panels due to missing Values, but contains 309 observation for 11 variables (incl. response), with no missing Values. These 309

Hello, So I am afraid I am having a recurring problem that I just can't figure out. I am using the plm package to conduct a panel analysis - although I am not sure if the problem is arising as a result of the plm package or something more general. I am trying to run a fixed effects model with effects over time and individual. The model has various lags, and the problem is that these lags do

Hello Giovanni I made a minor modification to your function, which now allows to compute the within R-sq in Twoways Within models (see below). However I ran into an issue that I have already encountered before: whenever I try to fit Twoways Within models on my unbalanced data, the process is strangely slow and I usually terminate it either after ~15min or when my CPU hits 100C. This is similar to

I am getting a difference in results when running some analysis using by and tapply compare to using a for loop. I've tried searching the web but had no luck with the keywords I used. I've attached a simple example below to illustrates my problem. I get a difference in the mean of yvar, diff and the p-value using tapply & by compared to a for loop. I cannot see what I am doing wrong.

Dear all; Is there any way to make this to work?: .x<-rnorm(50,10,3) .y<-.x+rnorm(50,0,1) X<-data.frame(.x,.y) colnames(X)<-c("Xvar","Yvar") Ytext<-"Yvar" lm(Ytext~Xvar,data=X) # doesn't run lm(Yvar~Xvar,data=X) # does run The main idea is to use Ytext as input in a function, so you just type "Yvar" and the model should fit....

I am running R version 2.15.1 in Windows XP I am having problems with a function I'm trying to create to: 1. subset a data.frame based on function arguments (colname & parmname) 2. rename the PARMVALUE column in the data.frame based on function argument (xvar) 3. generate charts plotvar <- function(parentdf,colname, parmname,xvar,yvar ){ subdf <-

Dear users, I have a double for loop that does exactly what I want, but is quite slow. It is not so much with this simplified example, but IRL it is slow. Can anyone help me improve it? The data and code for foo_reg() are available at the end of the email; I preferred going directly into the problematic part. Here is the code (I tried to simplify it but I cannot do it too much or else it

Hi, I have a large dataframe than I'm writing functions to explore, and to reduce cut and paste I'm trying to write a function that does a subset and then a plot. Firstly, I can write a wrapper around a plot: plotwithfits <- function(formula, data, xylabels=c('','')) { xyplot(formula, data, panel = function(x,y, ...) { panel.xyplot(x,y,

Hi there, Could someone help me with the following programming problem..? I have written a function that works for my intended purpose, but it is quite closely tied to a particular dataframe and the names of the variables in this dataframe. However, I'd like to use the same function for different dataframes and variables. My problem is that I'm not quite sure how to tell my function in

dear readers---I struggled with how to do nice fixed-effects regressions in large economic samples for a while. Eventually, I realized that nlme is not really what I needed (too complex), and all I really wanted is the plm package. so, I thought I would share a quick example. ################ sample code to show fixed-effects models? in R # create a sample panel data set with firms and years

I have the following code: ``` rm(list=ls()) N = 30000 xvar <- runif(N, -10, 10) e <- rnorm(N, mean=0, sd=1) yvar <- 1 + 2*xvar + e plot(xvar,yvar) lmMod <- lm(yvar~xvar) print(summary(lmMod)) domain <- seq(min(xvar), max(xvar))??? # define a vector of x values to feed into model lines(domain, predict(lmMod, newdata = data.frame(xvar=domain)))??? # add regression line, using

Hi R-helpers, I have two questions I hope you could help me with them: In the plm package how can I calculate the R2 within, R2 between and R2 overall? Is there any special reason to not display these values? When using first differences do I need to have some special care with dummies (both year dummies and industry dummies)? (A friend who works with Stata told me that there is

Dear users, By running the script below, R crashes systematically at the last command, namely dev.off(), on Windows 7, but not on Windows XP. I therefore don't provide a reproducible example and do not really extract the relevant parts of the script because it has most likely nothing to do with the script itself. I can do it though if you think it might be relevant. R crashes on Windows

Hi, How could I see the source code of functions in an R package? If we type ?function_name , we will see documentations of the function_name. If we type function_name, is what returns just the source code? Could we just save it in an .R file and modify as we want? However, it seems that sometimes the source code is hidden (or stored elsewhere?) As an example, could we see the source
