similar to: Need help with plm, cannot load pdata.frame

Hello, I am trying to use the plm package for panel econometrics. I am just trying to get started and load my data. It seems from most of the sample documentation that I need to use the pdata.frame function to get my data loaded. However, even after installing the "plm" package, my R installation cannot find the function. I am trying to follow the example in plmEN.pdf (

Hello, Apologies in advance if this is a stupid question. I am running R on Ubuntu 9. R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) I am trying to work with plm.

Dear "plm"-Package insiders, [I posted the following observation is April already but unfortunately I am not aware of any answers. With the hope that someone found an answer in the mean time, I ask again:] I realized the following difficulty with the summary.plm function (demonstrated with the example from the ?plm documentation). library(plm) data("Produc",

Dear plm Package users, I use the plm package a lot but I have not updated it for some times. Now I realized the following difficulty with the summary.plm function (demonstrated with the example from the ?plm documentation). library(plm) data("Produc", package="Ecdat") estimation_method<-"within" estimation_effect<-"individual" zz

Dear Sir, Thank you for accepting my request for registration on this site. I am trying to solve panel data problems using plm package , but while suing random effect model i am getting following messege saying " Warning message:In sqrt(sigma2) : NaNs produced " In some other cases i am getting message saying where TSS = NA , that I am not understanding I am sending you my code along

Dear Kailas Gokhale, The negative individual variance is not a problem with your code or plm. It a property of your data. Please check the posts of Giovanni Millo on this topic: [R] R: plm random effect: the estimated variance of the individual effect is negative Millo Giovanni Giovanni_Millo at Generali.com Sat Jan 5 10:10:01 CET 2013 You can find the posts in the archive by rseek.org.

Hello Giovanni I made a minor modification to your function, which now allows to compute the within R-sq in Twoways Within models (see below). However I ran into an issue that I have already encountered before: whenever I try to fit Twoways Within models on my unbalanced data, the process is strangely slow and I usually terminate it either after ~15min or when my CPU hits 100C. This is similar to

Hi Folks, Has anyone got a compiled binary of the package 'plm' and/or of the package 'kinship' for Debian Etch? I'm asking because I'd like to install 'plm', but have failed because it depends on 'kinship', and 'kinship' refuses to compile on my Debian Etch. The underlying reason is the Debian refuses to allow me to install the development

I have an unexpected result with the functions lag() and diff() in the plm (panel data) package when used with transform(). These plm-specific functions are supposed to generate lags and first differences within each panel. lag() does not work properly the first time (it reproduces the same series--this is a common time series pitfall), BUT then it does work properly when it is run a second

Hi, I've been trying out the plm package, which seems like a great boon to those who want to analyze panel data in R. I haven't started to use the estimation functions themselves - for now I am just interested in having a robust way to deal with lags in unbalanced panel data, since it is such a royal pain to deal with all the special cases. However, In my tests, I found behavior that

Hi List I'm having difficulty understanding how plm should work with dynamic formulas. See the commands and output below on a standard data set. Notice that the first summary(plm(...)) call returns the same result as the second (it shouldn't if it actually uses the lagged variable requested). The third call results in error (trying to use diff'ed variable in regression) Other info:

Hello, I am using {plm} to estimate panel models. I want to estimate a model that includes fixed effects for time and individual, but has a random individual effect for the coefficient on the independent variable. That is, I would like to estimate the model: Y_it = a_i + a_t + B_i * X_it + e_it Where i denotes individuals, t denotes time, X is my independent variable, and B (beta) is the

Hello everyone, I am working with plm package and I have problem with random and within models, which are giving errors which says "empty model". However, the model is not empty. In the source code for plm.fit, where the error originates it says something like (writing from the top of my head...) X <- model.matrix(formula,data, lhs=1,...) if (ncol(X) == 0) stop("empty

????? The ":::" operator doesn't work for me with "Ecdat:::Crime" on either macOS 10.15.3 or Windows 10. ????? A different but related issue is that "plm::Crime" says "Error: 'Crime' is not an exported object from 'namespace:plm'", even though "library(plm); data(Crime); Crime" works.? I would naively think a user should

Hello, although I searched for a solution related to my problem I didn?t find one, yet. My skills in R aren?t very large, however. For my Diploma thesis I need to run a GMM estimation on a dynamic panel model using the "pgmm" - function in the plm-Package. The model I want to estimate is: "Y(t) = Y(t-1) + X1(t) + X2(t) + X3(t)" . There are no "normal" instruments

I'm unable to open an SPSS file over my network. If I copy it to my local C:/ drive I can read it. I saved the command (in a "crib sheet" text file) in order to avoid all the typing, so I'm pretty sure I've done it before. I verified that the file I'm trying to read is OK. This is what happens: > SurveyData <-

Hi all, I have estimated a random panel model using plm function. I have a question about the vector of resduals obtained with the object $residuals. example: data("Produc", package = "plm") zz <- plm(log(gsp) ~ log(pcap) + log(pc) + log(emp) + unemp, model="random", data = Produc, index = c("state","year")) res<-zz$residuals #

Hi all, what indicates the parameter theta in the summary of a random effect panel model estimated with the plm function? example: data("Produc", package = "plm") zz <- plm(log(gsp) ~ log(pcap) + log(pc) + log(emp) + unemp, model="random", data = Produc, index = c("state","year")) summary(zz) Effects: var std.dev

Dear List I just downloaded and installed R 2.12.0 and then installed R Commander . First it got RCmdr and Car, and then suggested for other packages for utilizing the full functionality- I clicked yes! I got 140 packages installed!!! Cran Mirror was UCLA... Here is the list. Is this intentional- I can see some packages like snow and multicore which are desirable but quite optional.(see list
