The 'systemfit' function in systemfit 0.7-3 CRAN package seems to have a problem with formulas that contain transformed (eg. log) variables. If I have my data in a data frame, apparently systemfit doesn't "pass" the information of where the variables should be taken to the transforming function. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or just a limitation, I was just

Hi, I am trying to obtain the heteroskedasticity consitent standard errors (HCSE) after apply 2SLS. I obtain 2SLS through tsls from package sem or systemfit: #### tsls #### library (sem) Reg2SLS <-tsls(LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D,~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D) summary (Reg2SLS) #### systemfit #### library (systemfit) RS <- LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D Inst <- ~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D labels

Hi everyone, I am looking to do some manual maximum likelihood estimation in R. I have done a lot of work in Stata and so I have been using output comparisons to get a handle on what is happening. I estimated a simple linear model in R with lm() and also my own maximum likelihood program. I then compared the output with Stata. Two things jumped out at me. Firstly, in Stata my coefficient

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

I've been working on a new package and I have a few questions regarding the behaviour of the nlm function. I've been (for better or worse) using the nlm function to fit a linear model without suppling the hessian or gradient attributes in the objective function. I'm curious as to why the nlm requires 31 iterations (for the linear model), and then it doesn't work when I try to add

Hi I was trying to estimate simultaneous equation system in R using systemfit. I used the following commands >library(systemfit) > data(Kmenta) > attach(Kmenta) >eqDemand<-consump~price+income > eqSupply<-consump~price+farmprice+trend > fitsur<-systemfit("SUR",list(demand=eqDemand, supply=eqSupply)) and got the following error messege Error in

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.

Is there any work going into placing keys in a central directory such as LDAP ? Jeff McElroy jmcelroy at dtgnet.com

I'm an R novice who is struggling with the importation STATA files into R. I've loaded "foreign" and tried the example based on the Swiss file, which works fine. I then placed a STATA file, auto6.dta, in my working directory, which is "C:\Program Files\R\rw1030\library\base\data". The following is what happened: > library(foreign) > read.dta(auto6) Error in

Hi List I want to carry out structural mode. Following Example l have taken from Basic Econometrics- Damodar Gujarati : Advertising intensity function: Ad/S = a0 + a1M + a2 (CD/S) + a3C + a4C2 + a5Gr + a6Dur – (1) Concentration function: C = b0 + b1 (Ad/S) + b2 (MES/S) -(2) Price-cost margin function: M = c0 + c1(K/S) + c2Gr + c3C + c4GD + c5(Ad/S) + c6 (MES/S)

I tried to post this a few times last week and it seems to have got stuck somehow so I'm trying from a different email in the hope that works. If somehow this has appeared on the list 20 tiems and I never saw any of them I apologize ;-) I'm basically an R-newbie. But I am VERY computer literate. But this has me stumped... All the examples for using the rmeta package to create a

I've been trying to figure out how to get the names of the parameter vector variables when inside the function that nlm calls to return the objective function value: knls <- function( theta, eqns, data, fitmethod="OLS", instr=NULL, S=NULL ) { ## print( names( theta ) ) # returns NULL ## get the values of the parameters for( i in 1:length( theta ) )

Dear R programming folks: I'm trying to finish off a package for non-linear simultaneous system estimation and I've been trying to figure out how to get the names of the parameter vector variables when inside the function that nlm calls to return the objective function value: knls <- function( theta, eqns, data, fitmethod="OLS", instr=NULL, S=NULL ) { ## print(

First I have to say I am sorry because I have not been so clear in my previous e-mails. I will try to explain clearer what it is my problem. I have the following model: lnP=Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D In this model the variable Sc is endogenous and the rest are all objective exogenous variables. I verified that Sc is endogenous through a standard Hausman test. To determine this I defined before a new

Hello, I see on the systemfit manual that you can estimate one-equation IV - I have a variable, and need to test if it's endogeneous, but do not need to estimate a system. Does anyone have any examples of this? Do you just run OLS with the endogenous variable, and then run a Hausmann to test endogeneity of OLS resid. vs. IV resid? Thanks in advance, DM [[alternative HTML

Dear Users, I want to know whether systemfit can solve simultaneous equations using panel data. Regards Arunima [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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!

Hey, I want to implement a structural model with the package systemfit with some linear and nonlinear constraints. How to implement linear restrictions is clear. Does anybody know how to set up nonlinear restrictions in the systemfit packages. For example: beta1 = beta2-(beta4/beta6) I look forward to your reply -- View this message in context:
