Dear R-user: I am using survreg(Surv()) for fitting a Tobit model of left-censored longitudinal data. For logarithmic transformation of y data, I am trying use survreg.distributions in the following way: tfit=survreg(Surv(y, y>=-5, type="left")~x + cluster(id), dist="gaussian", data=y.data, scale=0, weights=w) my.gaussian<-survreg.distributions$gaussian

Dear R-user: After the fitting the Tobit model using zelig, if I use the following command then I can get the regression coefficents: beta=coefficients(il6.out) > beta (Intercept) apache 4.7826 0.9655 How may I extract the "Naive SE" from the following output please? > summary(il6w.out) Call: zelig(formula = il6.data$il6 ~ il6.data$apache, model =

Dear R-Users: I am trying to find the robust (or sandwich) estimates of the standard error of fixed effects parameter estimates using the package "lmer2". In model-1, I used "robust=TRUE" on the other, in model-2, I used "robust=FALSE". Both models giving me the same estimates. So my question is, does the robust option works in lmer2 to get the robust estimates of

Dear R-user: I have a left censored longitudinally measured data set with 4 variables such as sub (which is id), x (only covariate), y (repeatedly measured response) and w (weights) (note, ?-5? indicates the left censored value in the attached data set). I am using following R codes (?survival? library and ?survreg? package) for fitting a random effect tobit model for the left censored

Hello Everybody: I am searching for an R package for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) with weights (i.e. Weighted Estimating Equations). From the R documentation I found "geese(geepack)" for fitting Generalized Estimating Equations. In this documentation, under the paragraph “weights” it has been written, “an optional vector of weights to be used in the fitting process.

Hello EVERYONE, I need an URGENT help from you please! How can I see the "estfun" (empirical estimating function) and "df" (degree of freedom) from the following mixed-model please? (fm1 <- lmer2(Reaction ~ Days + (Days|Subject), sleepstudy)) Many thanks in advance for your kind help. Sattar

Dear R users: I am using survreg for modeling left censored longitudinal data. When I am using the following code for fitting the tobit model I am getting some output with an warning message(highlighted with red color): > survreg(Surv(y, y>=0, type='left')~x + frailty(id), cytokine.data, weight=w, dist='gaussian', scale=1) Call: survreg(formula = Surv(y, y >= 0, type

I am trying to work out a bootstrapped Tobit regression model. I get the coefficients all right, but they all have standard error zero. And I am unable to figure out why. I know the coefficients are correct because that's what I get when do a Tobit (without bootstrapping). Here's my code: # Bootstrap 95% CI for Tobit regression coefficients? library(boot) library(AER) # for the Affairs

Dear All: I need some guidance in calculating a goodness-of-fit statistic for a Tobit Regression model. To develop the Tobit regression, I used the tobit() method from the AER package, which is basically a simpler interface to the survreg() method. I've read about pseudo R2 and C-index and was wondering if there is a package that calculates this for me. Also, is there a reason to select

Hi, I'm trying to fit a tobit regression model to some data. When fitting the exact same data in Stata, I have no problems at all, however R won't converge. Its not a maxiters thing, since I've tried increasing this already. I need to be able to fit the model in R since there are users of the code that don't have a Stata license. The code is: require(AER) left = 3.218476 x =

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

I'm statistician I need help with tobit regression Is there assumption in tobit regression ? if any, what kind of that ? please help me !!

Folks, Based on http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/archives/html/s-news/1999-06/msg00125.html I thought I should experiment with using survreg() to estimate tobit models. I start by simulating a data frame with 100 observations from a tobit model > x1 <- runif(100) > x2 <- runif(100)*3 > ystar <- 2 + 3*x1 - 4*x2 + rnorm(100)*2 > y <- ystar > censored <- ystar <= 0

Appreciate any suggestions regarding how to fit an unbalanced panel data to a Tobit model using R functions. I am trying to analyze how real estate capital expenditures (CapEx) are affected by market conditions using a panel Tobit model. The CapEx is either positive or 0, so it is censored. The data are unbalanced panel, including the CapEx of about 5000 properties over about 40 quarters, with the

Hi all, Quick question - Which, if any, of the R packages contains procedures for running Tobit analysis? Regards, Matt --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, I need to run a Tobit Fixed Effects in a panel data with 4500 units for 8 years. It is a huge data set, my dependent variable is left truncated at zero, the distribution is skewed and my panel is balanced. Any suggestions on how to do that in R? I tried stuff like survreg, censReg, and tobit but none of them were satisfactory. Thanks, *Felipe Nunes* CAPES/Fulbright Fellow PhD

Hi all, I'm from Brazil. I fit a Tobit model to FLUID MILK CONSUMPTION (DEPENDENT VARIABLE) data using survreg (attached). I am confused about the output interpretation and I would like yours explanations. Thanks, Marcio Roberto Silva -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Dear R-users, I would like to model data where the response variable consists of many minus ones and many different positive values that seem to follow an apparently separate distribution (ie. -1, -1, 0.5, -1, 3, 3.5, 1.2, -1, -1, 0.4, etc); no values of the response can be less than minus one or between minus and zero (exclusive). I am aware of tobit regression but unaware of exactly how to

Hello! I'm thinking of applying a censored regression model to cross-sectional data, using either the tobit (package survival) or the censReg function (package censReg). The dependent variable is left and right-censored. My hopefully not too silly question is this: I understand that heteroskedasticity and nonnormal errors are even more serious problems in a censored regression than in an
