similar to: correcting for autocorrelation in models with panel data?

Dear list, I am trying to replicate an econometrics study that was orginally done in Stata. (Blanton and Blanton. 2009. A Sectoral Analysis of Human Rights and FDI: Does Industry Type Matter? International Studies Quarterley 53 (2):469 - 493.) The model I try to replicate is in Stata given as xtpcse total_FDI lag_total ciri human_cap worker_rts polity_4 market income econ_growth log_trade

Has anyone implemented a t-test with the effective sample size correction proposed by Dale and Fortin, Ecoscience 9(2):162-167, 2002, using a discussion by Cressie, 1993, page 15? thanks, Denis

I am working with panel data. I am using the plm package to do this. I would like to do be able to adjust for autocorrelation, as one does with glm models and correlation structures (eg corr=corARMA(q=4)) . In particular, I want to employ MA(4) error structure. Is there a way of doing this with the plm package? (Note: I do not really want to use the pggls function for various

I have been reading about autocorrelation in linear models over the last couple of days, and I have to say the more I read, the more confused I get. Beyond confusion lies enlightenment, so I'm tempted to ask R-Help for guidance. Most authors are mainly worried about autocorrelation in the residuals, but some authors are also worried about autocorrelation within Y and within X vectors

Dear List: A few weeks ago I posted some questions regarding data simulation and received some very helpful comments, thank you. I have modified my code accordingly and have made some progress. However, I now am facing a new challenge along similar lines. I am attempting to simulate 250 datasets and then run the data through a linear model. I use rm() and gc() as I move along to clean up the

Dear List: I am working to construct a matrix of a particular form. For the most part, developing the matrix is simple and is built as follows: vl.mat<-matrix(c(0,0,0,0,0,64,0,0,0,0,64,0,0,0,0,64),nc=4) Now to expand this matrix to be block-diagonal, I do the following: sample.size <- 100 # number of individual students I<- diag(sample.size) bd.mat<-kronecker(I,vl.mat) This

Dear List: I am running into a memory issue that I haven't noticed before. I am running a simulation with all of the code used below. I have increased my memory to 712mb and have a total of 1 gb on my machine. What appears to be happening is I run a simulation where I create 1,000 datasets with a sample size of 100. I then run each dataset through a gls and obtain some estimates. This works

Hello folks, I have some data where spatial autocorrelation seems to be a serious problem, and I'm unclear on how to deal with it in R. I've tried to do my homework - read through 'The R Book,' use the online help in R, search the internet, etc. - and I still have some unanswered questions. I'd greatly appreciate any help you could offer. The super-super short explanation is

Dear R-users, There are tons of methods out there for fitting independant variables to a dependent variable. All stats books tell you about the assumptions behind OLS (ordinary least squares) and warn against abusive use of the method (which many of us do disregard by lack of a better knowledge). Most introductory text books stop there and don't tell you what the next best option might be. I

Dear R-project users I would like to calculate a linear trend versus time taking into account a first order autoregressive process of a single time series (e.g. data$S80 in the following example) using th gls function. gls(S80 ~ tt,data=data,corAR1(value, form, fixed)) My question is what number to set in the position of value within corAR1? Should it be the acf at lag 1? I look forward for

Hi there fellow R-users, Can anyone tell me if there exits an R package that deals with serial correlation in the residuals of an lm model. Perhaps, using the Cochrane Orcutt or Praise Wilson methods? Thanks, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

Hi, I am trying to learn time series, and I am attending a colleague's course on Econometrics. However, he uses e-views, and I use R. I am trying to reproduce his examples in R, but I am having problems specifying a AR(1) model. Would anyone help me with my code? Thanks in advance!

Hello R-users, I am using gls function in R to fit a model with certain correlation structure. The medol as: fit.a<-gls(y~1,data=test.data,correlation=corAR1(form=~1|aa),method="ML") mu<-summary(fit.a)$coefficient With the toy data I made to test, the estimate of mu is exactly equal to the overall mean of y which can not be true. But, if I make a toy data with y more than two

I am trying to extract into a scalar the value of Phi from the printed output of gls or lme using corAR1 correlation. ie I want the estimate of the autocorrelation. I can't see how to do this and haven't seen it anywhere in str(model.lme). I can get all the other information - fixed and random effects etc. Is there an obvious way so that I can save the brick wall some damage? TIA

Hi, I am trying out a generalized least squares method of forecasting that corrects for autocorrelation. I downloaded daily stock data from Yahoo Finance, and am trying to predict Close (n=7903). I have learned to use date functions to extract indicator variables for Monday - Friday (and Friday is missing in the model to prevent it from becoming full rank). When I run the following code...

Hi, I have a problem with a regression I try to run. I did an estimation of the market model with daily data. You can see to output below: /> summary(regression_resn) Time series regression with "ts" data: Start = -150, End = -26 Call: dynlm(formula = ror_resn ~ ror_spi_resn) Residuals: Min 1Q Median 3Q Max -0.0255690 -0.0030378 0.0002787

Dear List: First, many thanks to those who offered assistance while I constructed code for the simulation. I think I now have code that resolves most of the issues I encountered with memory. While the code works perfectly for smallish datasets with small sample sizes, it arouses a windows-based error with samples of 5,000 and 250 datasets. The error is a dialogue box with the following: "R

Greetings, 1) Is there a nice way of extracting the variance estimates from an lme fit? They don't seem to be part of the lme object. 2) In a series of simulations, I am finding that with ML fitting one of my random effect variances is sometimes being estimated as essentially zero with massive CI instead of the finite value it should have, whilst using REML I get the expected value. I guess

Hi. I'm trying to perform what should be a reasonably basic analysis of some spatial presence/absence data but am somewhat overwhelmed by the options available and could do with a helpful pointer. My researches so far indicate that if my data were normal, I would simply use gls() (in nlme) and one of the various corSpatial functions (eg. corSpher() to be analagous to similar analysis in SAS)

Dear R community, I used a linear mixed model (named lm11) to model daily soil temperature depending upon vegetation cover and air temperature. I have almost 17,000 observations for six years. I can not account for autocorrelation in my model, since I receive the error message after applying the function: update(lm11, corr=corAR1()) Error: cannot allocate vector of size 220979 Kb Do
