similar to: matching, treatment effect-ATT and Zelig package

Dear R users, I am trying to estimate to estimate the average treatmen effect on the treated (ATT) using first the MatchIt software to weight the data set and, after this, the Zelig software as shown in Ho et al. (2007). See here for an explanation of how to apply this technique in R: http://imai.princeton.edu/research/files/matchit.pdf I encounter a slight problem when I apply the weights that

Dear all, Does anybody know why the following code returns an error message? >library(MatchIt) >library(Zelig) >data(lalonde) > >m.out1<-matchit(treat~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married +re74+re75, method="full", data=lalonde) > >z.out1<-zelig(re78~age+educ+black+hispan+nodegree+married+re74+re75, data=match.data(m.out1, "control"),

Hi there, Does anyone know how to extract data from a function that prints out two or more summaries? In the function below (the whole code is provided) we get 5 different tables of data. I would like to split each of these tables in a separate file (while the function itself shouldn't be changed), so that further analysis on each data set could be carried out. Your help is deeply

I'm using the "Match" package to do propensity score matching. Here's some example code that shows the problem that I'm having (much of this code is taken from the Match package documentation): *data(lalonde) glm1 <- glm(treat~age + I(age^2) + educ + I(educ^2) + black + hisp + married + nodegr + re74 + I(re74^2) + re75 + I(re75^2) + u74 + u75,

Dear R-Users, I have a problem on extracting T-Stat and P-Value. I have written R-code below library("Matching") data("lalonde") attach(lalonde) names(lalonde) Y <- lalonde$re78 Tr <- lalonde$treat glm1 <- glm(Tr~age+educ+black+hisp+married+nodegr+re74+re75,family=binomial,data=lalonde) pscore.predicted <- predict(glm1) rr1 <-

Hello, I am attempting to "automate" a Bayesian normal linear regression using Zelig. Basically, I have a list containing several zelig() objects, each having a different formula, same data set, and same model (normal.bayes). My problem lies in the setx() method, where I am setting a numeric parameter to a value other than the mean. This is straightforward if I input the parameters

On the topic of when to use "suggests" and "depends" and on R version requirements. I have cc'd this message to R-devel because I am curious about what senior developpers think about these issues. The problem arises because we are using some functions from the package "matchit" in a new version of our package "portfolio". We are listing the matchit in

I've run an ordered logistic regression model in R with Zelig and am looking to calculate predicted probabilities. Zelig has a series of simple one line commands to generate the information I want on first differences and so forth. Unfortunately, I keep getting an error when running the zelig function and was wondering if there was a quick alternative for generating predicted probabilities for

Hi! Does somebody out there has experience with the Zelig package from Harvard uni? I have a problem when trying to set the explanatory variables with setx Polytomous logistic regression: >z.out <- zelig(OPARS ~ v1+v2+v3+...+vn, model = "mlogit", data=heb) that's OK >x.out<-set(z.out) Error in seq.Date(along = object) : `from' must be specified #??? I have no date

Dear R-friends, I am trying to use the Zelig library to simulate the following model: z.out<-zelig(formula = y ~ x1*x2 + x3 + x4 + x5, model="ls", data = my.data, weights = my.weights) Since the regression is weighted before running the regression I used the procedure: zelig2ls <- function(formula, model, data, M, ...) { mf <- match.call(expand.dots = TRUE)

I'm running an ordered logit in R with the Zelig package and am trying to calculate some predicted probabilities. However, I get the following error message. > x.low <- setx(mod, cars=1)Error in dta[complete.cases(mf), names(dta) %in% vars, drop = FALSE] : incorrect number of dimensions I googled this problem and couldn't find anything, minus a question by me on this same

Hi, I'm having problems with the Zelig package - when using the below R displays the follwing message (I'm running R i386 2.15.3 for Windows and have updated all the Zelig packages): z.out<-zelig(Surv(psurv2, pcens2) ~ ren_sup3 + age, data=data_urgent, model="coxph") ** The model "coxph" is not available with the currently loaded packages, ** and is not an

Hi everyone, I have carried out a multiple imputation in R using Amelia II and have created 5 multiply imputed datasets. The purpose of my research is to fit a Poisson Model to the data to estimate numbers of hospital admissions. Now that I have 5 completed datasets and I have to pool all the 5 datasets to get one combined output for a poisson model. I have checked previous queries about

hello all I am using the R package Zelig for some tobit regression with robust standard errors. I have got R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) and Zelig Version: 3.4-5 when i do demo(robust) It ends like this way data(coalition) > # Fit the model with robust standard error > user.prompt() Press <return> to continue: > z.out3 <- zelig(Surv(duration, ciep12) ~ polar + numst2 +

When I use zelig to compute parameter estimates with "model = logit.survey", I receive the following error: Nicholas Carnes. 2007. "logt.surveyWarning message: In eval(expr, envir, enclose) : non-integer #successes in a binomial glm! I believe this is because the model is not using "quasibinomial" (see R-News 2003, Analyzing Survey Data in R, by Thomas Lumley). Is there

I'm running a multinomial logit in R using the Zelig packages. According to str(trade962a), my dependent variable is a factor with three levels. When I run the multinomial logit I get an error message. However, when I run 'model=logit' it works fine. any ideas on whats wrong? ## MULTINOMIAL LOGIT anes96two <- zelig(trade962a ~ age962 + education962 + personal962 + economy962 +

Hi Folks, According to the PDF file blogit.pdf in the Zelig documentation: "Use the bivariate logistic regression model ["blogit"] if you have two binary dependent variables (Y1,Y2), and and wish to model them jointly as a function of some explanatory variables. Each pair of dependent variables (Yi1,Yi2) has four potential outcomes, (Yi1=1,Yi2=1), (Yi1=1,Yi2=0),
