similar to: Problem with breakpoints (strucchange)

Good morning to all, I am encountering a blocking issue when using the function 'breackpoints' from package 'strucchange'. *Context:* I use a data frame, 248 observations of 5 variables, no NA. I compute a linear model, as y~x1+...+x4 x4 is a dummy variable (0 or 1). I want to check this model for structural changes. *Process & issues:* *First, I used function Fstats.* It

Hi, I am trying to a strucutural change analysis on a certain data set. Attached here, with variable name "xcd" http://old.nabble.com/file/p26226190/xcd.rda xcd.rda Am using the following command: bp.inrz<-breakpoints(INR~SPX+WPI,data=xcd,h=26) But keep on getting this error whatever variables i put in on the x side as regressors: Error in chol2inv(qr.R(qr(X))) : element (3,

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? THANKS!!!! DENISSE -- View this message in context:

Can anyone please tell me how to get the r-squared output from a piecewise (segmented) regression using the strucchange package? Here is the R code I have tried thus far. library(lmtest) library(strucchange) data <- ts(c(rnorm(30), runif(30)), frequency = 12, start = c(2005, 01)) bpts <- breakpoints(data ~ 1) print(bpts) summary(bpts) coeftest(bpts) [[alternative HTML version

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

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 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 to all, I am trying to run breakpoints() on a fairly large sample (>10.000 observations). The process is very slow, any idea on how to speed this up? I have tried the hpc="foreach" parameter, but this didn't work at all when I tried to run it on a smaller sample. breakpoints(x ~ x.l1 + x.l2 + X.l3 + x.l4 + x.l5 + x.l6 + x.l7 + x.l8 + y.l1 + y.l2 + y.l3 + y.l4 + y.l5 + y.l6

Greetings - Am hoping to use the strucchange package to look for structural breaks in some messy regression data. A series of preliminary analyses indicate that BLUE for these data will involve some weighting the data (estimates of a particular population parameter) by a function of the variance of the estimate (say, inverse of the variance). While I've gone through the docs for

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,

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,

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

hello R-world, according to the strucchange package .pdf, "all procedures in this package are concerned with testing or assessing deviations from stability in the classical linear regression model." i'd like to test/assess deviations from stability in the Poisson model. is there a way to modify the strucchange package to suit my purposes, or should i use be using another

Hi, I have recently use the strucchange package in R with a single time series observation. I found it extremely useful in the testing of change points. Now, I am thinking of using the strucchange package with panel data (about 500 firms, with 73 monthly time series observations each). For each firm, I have to conduct the Fstats and breakpoints tests. Based on the test of each firm, I have to

Hello, Im using strucchange package in R software in order to apply Bai and Peron (1998, 2003) structural break tests to a set of n=1671 observations with a constant term (no AR terms). For that purpose I have read several papers, for instance Validating Multiple Structural Change Models An Extended Case Study, in which its aim is to replicate the results from Bai and Perron (2003) in R

Greetings, I'm complety new to "R" and have a question. I've read through a couple of manuals but I'm having a problem with getting something run properly. I'd like to attempt to use the "strucchange" package with some sample data however I'm having trouble understanding the proper syntax of the commands from which to do so. I basically want to take

Dear R Users, I am attempting to use the strucchange package but get an error which is difficult to decipher. I get the following error with breakpoints: > bp<-breakpoints(regr[,1]~regr[,2]+regr[,3]) Error in my.RSS.table[as.character(i), 3:4] <- c(pot.index[opt], break.RSS[opt]) : nothing to replace with I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue before and off the top of

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 a new user to R. I am using strucchange to generate breakpoints: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > res <- gbreakpoints(GDP.new ~ 1,data=a,h=2,breaks=5) > print(res) Optimal 6-segment partition for `lm' fit: Call: gbreakpoints(formula = GDP.new ~ 1, data = a, h = 2, breaks = 5) Breakpoints at observation number:

Hi Achim, I'd like to try to run the strucchange package on R. However, it seems that the package can only run on systems running Debian and not Windows XP. Is this true? Or is there a windows version? I downloaded the strucchange file but they seem to have the dot deb extension and seem to be designed to run with Debian. If there is a windows version, could you please let me know how to
