Hello, I've got to compute a minimization equation under an equality constraint (Min g(x1,x2,x3) with x1+x2=const). The Constroptim function does not authorize an equality condition but only inequality conditions. Which function can I use instead? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello to everyone, I have 2 problems and would be very pleased if anyone can help me: 1) When I use the package "systemfit" for SUR regressions, I get two different variance-covariance matrices when I firstly do the SUR regression ("The covariance matrix of the residuals used for estimation") and secondly do the OLS regressions. In the manual for "systemfit" on page

Hi, I have a dataframe (say myData) and want to get a list (say myList) that contains a matrix for each row of the dataframe myData. These matrices are calculated based on the corresponding row of myData. Using a for()-loop to do this is very slow. Thus, I tried to use apply(). However, afaik apply() does only return a list if the matrices have different dimensions, while my matrices have

Hi there, I need to plot an illustrative figure without ticks, x, y labels in R. I managed to get the ticks removed, but had no luck with x, y labels. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Jin Li [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello I know how read a file in excel format into a R data frame using the RODBC library, but I don't know how write a R data frame in excel format. I don't understand the instructions from RODBC user manual. To read an excel file I use. library(RODBC); conex<-odbcConnectExcel("fis_quim.xls"); sqlTables(conex); data<-sqlFetch(conex,"hoja1"); Suppose I

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

Hi, I was really happy when I saw that in R version 2.3.0 "R CMD check" works for packages whose package name is different from the directory name in which it is located (see http://cran.r-project.org/src/base/NEWS). Now, I can have branches of my packages in directories like "[...]/branches/<version number>/", while I had to use "[...]/branches/<version

Dear All, I would like to publish a function for 'heckit' estimations together with two examples from Greene's and Wooldridge's econometric textbooks. These examples use the dataset of Mroz (1987) that is also available in John Fox' "car" package. However, not all variables that are used in my examples are available in the "car" package. Therefore, I

Hi, I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function "predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm" has also more

I am confused by the following description in http://www.maths.lth.se/help/R/.R/library/systemfit/html/hausman.systemfit.html what does the "Not run" mean? if we do not load systemfit, how can we run the following code? ## Not run: library( systemfit ) data( kmenta ) attach( kmenta ) ... I install the package of systemfit, and run the code. I got the warning: > library( systemfit

Hi, I did not find any web page about using R in economics and econometrics so far. However, this does not mean that there is none (searching with google for "R" and "economics" gives many pages about economics and a name like Firstname R. Lastname on it ;-)). Does anybody in the list does know such a web page? If not, I will be happy if you, Ajay, could build and

Hello folks, I am trying to estimate the two-step Heckman regression model. I would like to make an adjustment for intragroup correlations. Stata can implement this with the "cluster" option, but I am really hoping to stick with R. It seems that the micEcon package is the primary source for this two-step regression model (i.e., heckit), but I can't find a way to make the

Dear all, I am trying to find a solution satisfying the below equations in R. Set up the problem 9 X1+ X2 + X3 = 2 X1+ X2 + X3 = 1 which is subjected to 0 < X1 < X2 < X3 < 2. I have downloaded the packages \'linprog\' and \'lpSolve\' but can not see how to solve the question. Thank you for your help. With

How does one specify the weights for WLS in the systemfit command ? That is, there is a weight option in lm(), but there doesn't seem to be weight option for systemfit("WLS") Thanks!

Hi Folks, I am using Windows 2000 and was wondering what (Open Source) software R users use or might recommend for symbolic computations (aside from the ol' noggin, e.g., Maxima, Mathomatic) .

Hello, I am beginning with R and I would like to test a non linear model. But I do not find exactly wath I am looking for in nls packages (or I do not know where to search). I would like to try a model like this : y=b * x exp(n)/(a exp(n) + x exp (n)) Where a = a0 + a1z b= b0 + b1z x and z are variables y the variable that I am trying to modelise a0, a1, b0 and b1 are parameters to determine.
