Hi! Sorry for asking a trivial questions, but I can't seem to figure this out. I have a dataframe called master containing 30-odd variables. In this dataframe, I have observations across these 30 variables from 1930 to 2003 (I've made a "year" variable). How can I drop all rows for which the year is less than 1960? I'm assuming something with ifelse() but I can't

Is it possible to simultaneously estimate mean and GARCH parameters in R? In other words, I would like to estimate the normal regression equation Y = b X + u and simultaneously do a garch process on the u's to correct the standard errors. I was thinking maybe something with systemfit(), but I can't quite come up with it. Thanks, Tobias --

Hi, all! Anyone know an easy way to specify the following model. Panel dataset, with stock through time, by firm. I want to run a model of y on a bunch of explanatory variables, and one dummy for each firm, which is 1 for observations that come from firm i, and 0 everywhere else. I have over 200 firms (and a factor variable that contains a firm identifier). Any easy way of going about

Hi! I'm trying to do the following. I have monthly a dataset with, among other things, "marketcap", and "return". I want to multiply return by the marketcap of the previous month. How do I do this? In STATA (which I have used frequently in the past) I would simply use an expression of the form return[_n]*marketcap[_n-1] I believe they call this relative

Hi, everyone! Is there a function to do single-variable GARCH in R? If yes, what library is it in? Thanks!

Very interesting topic. "What I want to know is *WHY* people are doing this?" Here goes my view - I've used many for loops, and each time I realize how stupid that is... AFTER I learned how to avoid it. But it's difficult to avoid them without knowing how to do it. (Monsieur de LaPalice wouldn't have puted it better...) For loops are conceptually very easy to understand.

Hi! I need to run ols regressions with Huber-White sandwich estimators and the correponding standard errors, without an intercept. What I'm trying to do is create an ols object and then use the robcov() function, on the order of: f <- ols(depvar ~ ind1 + ind2, x=TRUE) robcov(f) However, when I go f <- ols(depvar ~ ind1 + ind2 -1, x=TRUE) I get the following error: Error in

Hi! I have a dataset of properties that are owned by different firms, each firm owning multiple properties. I am running a regression of holding period (how long a property was held in a firm's portfolio) on the left, and a bunch of factors on the right. When calculating standard errors, I would like to cluster my disturbance terms by firm. Any ideas on how to do this? I'm guessing

Dear listeRs, I'm finding that apply() behaves strangely when used on a 3-d array. For example: > at <- array(1:27,dim=c(3,3,3)) > at , , 1 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 4 7 [2,] 2 5 8 [3,] 3 6 9 , , 2 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 10 13 16 [2,] 11 14 17 [3,] 12 15 18 , , 3 [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 19 22 25 [2,] 20 23 26

Hello R people, I have a data file with 101 numeric variables: one variable called IDN (the individual's unique id number, which I need to retain, and which ranges from 1000 to 1320; some numbers are obviously skipped), and V1 to V100 (each has a value of 0 or 1; these 100 variables represent sequentially ordered days and whether a characteristic was present or absent--e.g., v1 is day 1 and a

Hi, I have a question of the method as how to normalize the data sets according to a set of the internal measurements. For example, I have performed two batches of experiments contrasting two different conditions (positive versus negative conditions): one at a time. 1. each experiment, I measure signals of variable v1 to v100. I want to understand v1 to v100 change under these two contrasting

Thanks for the advice. My question is more on how to do this? Let me use a biology gene analysis example to illustrate: In biology, there are always some house keeping genes which differ little even at pathological conditions. We know that at different batches, there are external factors affect the measurements. For example, overall signal intensity might be different due to lab reagents. A

Dear helpers, does anyone know a function to fit a model with: - y mean that is regressed on a set of explanatory variables - y variace behaving as a garch or as a garch in mean Thank you so much for your help, Carlo

I'm trying to apply a function defined in the VW R docs, that attemps to convert a data.table object to Vowpal Wabbit format. In the process i'm getting the error in printf mentioned in the subject. The original function is here: https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit/blob/master/R/dt2vw.R Below there is a small example that reproduces the error. The function works great with

Hello! I need to purchase a new box, which I would like to optimize for good R performance. For the record, I will run Fedora Core 5 as and OS, and I wanted to know if anyone has experience with how the following affects R performance: - Is there a big advantage to having a 64-bit CPU over having a 32-bit? - Does an Opteron offer any advantages over an Athlon, and if yes, does it justify an

Hi. I have a simple (I think) question My dataset have these variables: names(data) [1] "v1" "v2" "v3" "v4" "v5" "v6" "v7" "v8" "v9" "v10" "v11" "v12" "v13" "v14" "v15" "v16" "v17"

Greetings list, It's been a while since I've been able to focus on asterisk packaging but this weekend I took some time to audit and recompile packages for CentOS 4.2. You can find them here. ftp://ftp.linuxsys.com/ftp/pub/releases/CentOS-4.0 You have your choice of 1.2.1 or 1.0.10 releases. If you need zaptel modules then install this kernel as well:

I was looking at the Sparc 64 4.7 or 4.8 port, wondering if its in any state to put on my Solaris v100. Just need the basics, eide, network, kbm,mouse, graphics (x). A bonus would be support for the lom (light out management) features and the flash card. Reason for change is I HOPE that the math (ssl) performance is better on FBSD, as well as I am just tired of keeping track of
