In December, the packages "miscTools" and "micEconAids" were separated from the "micEcon" package. Now, two further packages have been separated from the micEcon package: "micEconSNQP" and "micEconCES". The "micEconSNQP" package (version 0.6-2) provides tools for production analysis with the Symmetric Normalized Quadratic (SNQ) profit

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

Dear R Users: We have splitted up the micEcon package into three packages: a) Package "maxLik" provides tools for maximum likelihood estimations (see http://www.maxLik.org). b) Package "sampleSelection" provides tools for estimating Heckman-type sample selection/generalized tobit models (see http://www.sampleSelection.org). c) Package "micEcon" contains the

Hi! A few weeks ago, I have uploaded a new R package "frontier" for Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) [1] to CRAN [2]. It includes the FORTRAN code of Tim Coelli's [3] software "Frontier 4.1" [4]. Hence, the R package "frontier" should have the same capabilities as "Frontier 4.1", i.e. Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Stochastic Frontier Production

The "micEcon" package has been split into three packages: miscTools, micEconAids, and micEcon. a) miscTools (version 0.6-0) includes miscellaneous small tools and utilities that are not related to (micro)economics, e.g. colMedians(), rowMedians(), insertCol(), insertRow(), vecli(), symMatrix(), triang(), semidefiniteness(), compPlot(), and rSquared(). The miscTools package should depend

Hi, I wrote a function to perform a two-step Heckman (also known as "heckit") estimation. This function is mainly a wrapper function to "glm" (1st step probit estimation) and "lm" (2nd step OLS estimation). Though this function is not perfect yet, it is IMHO already very useful. Since there were some questions about Heckmann estimation in this list, I would like

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

Dear R users, I would like to inform you that everything of the "micEcon" package that is related to Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) has been moved to the "frontier" package, because this is a more appropriate place for the functions "front41WriteInput", "front41ReadOutput", and "front41Est", and the corresponding (S3) methods. The data

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

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:

Dear current (and future) users of the "frontier" package, We are approaching the first stable version (1.0) of the frontier package, which provides tools for microeconomic Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). I have uploaded a kind of beta release (version 0.99) of this package to CRAN. The most important differences to version 0.9 affect the user interface. I have modified the

Hello useRs, A new package, IndexNumR, has been released on CRAN. IndexNumR provides a set of functions for computing various bilateral and multilateral indices. It is designed to compute price or quantity indices over time. Bilateral indices include Laspeyres, Paasche, Fisher, Tornqvist, Sato-Vartia, Walsh and CES, as well as elementary indices Dutot, Carli, Harmonic mean, CSWD and Jevons. All

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
