similar to: insert insertRow?

Hello all, I am trying to use the micEcon 'insertRow' function inside a function I have written. For example: insert_row_test <- function(m){ insertRow(m,nrow(m)+1,v=0,rName="test") } However, when I try to call the 'insert_row_test' function (after loading the micEcon package), it does not insert a row into the matrix I pass in. When I call the insertRow

The "micEcon" package has been split into three packages: miscTools, micEconAids, and micEcon. a) miscTools (version 0.6-0) includes miscellaneous small tools and utilities that are not related to (micro)economics, e.g. colMedians(), rowMedians(), insertCol(), insertRow(), vecli(), symMatrix(), triang(), semidefiniteness(), compPlot(), and rSquared(). The miscTools package should depend

How does one remove a column from a data frame when the name of the column to remove is stored in a variable? For Example: colname <- "LOT" newdf <- subset(olddf,select = - colname) The above statement will give an error, but thats what I'm trying to accomplish. If I had used: newdf <- subset(olddf,select = - LOT) then it would have worked, but as I said the column

Greetings all: OK, this is bugging the @#@%* out of me. I know the answer is simple and straightforward but for the life of me I cannot find it in the documentation, in the archives, or in my notes (because I know I've encountered this in the past). My problem is: I have a data frame with columns A, B, C, D, and E. A, B, and E are factors and C and D are numeric. I need a new data frame with

Hi All, I need to parse data from a file, example shown below. The first two lines can be skipped, the third line contains the column names. The next 13 lines can be skipped. The next line "1991" is a year value, with the following 13 values data for that year. The file then repeats this format with (year, 13 lines of data for that year). I would ideally like to end up with an

I a have a text file where every line is like that: "2007-12-03 13:50:17 Juan Perez" ("yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss First Name Second Name") I would like to make a data frame with two column one for date and the other one for name. When I use read.delim it was transformed in a data frame with 4 colums. Bye, Sebasti?n.

Dear R Users: The functions of our "micEcon" package [1,2] can be subdivided into three categories: - microeconomic demand and firm models - sample selection models (mainly selection()) - routines for (likelihood) maximisation (e.g. maxLik(), maxNR(), maxBHHH()) (mainly used for ML estimation of sample selection models) Although sample selection models are often used in

Hi I am a newbie to R but have tried a number of ways in R to do this and can't find a good solution. (I could do it out of R in perl or awk but would like to know how to do this in R). I have a large data frame 49 variables and 7000 observations however for simplicity I can express it in the following data frame Base, Image, LVEF, ES_Time A, 1, 4.32, 0.89 A, 2, 4.98, 0.67 A, 3, 3.7, 0.5

Dear R users, I am new to R. I would like to find *maximum likelihood estimators for psi and alpha* based on the following *log likelihood function*, c is consumption data comprising 148 entries: fn<-function(c,psi,alpha) { s1<-sum(for(i in 1:n){(c[i]-(psi^(-1/alpha)*(lag(c[i],-1))))^2* (lag(c[i],-1)^((-2)*(alpha+1)) )}); s2<- sum(for(m in 1:n){log(lag(c[m],-1)^(((2)*alpha)+2))});

Hi guys, I need to insert a row to a matrix in a for loop. I have matrix named "Avg" which is a 5x4 matrix of zeros. I have a file named "A"(4 rows,14 columns) which I make a sample of it 5 times. each time I get the mean for each column and put the result in the "Avg" matrix. this is my code: Avg=matrix(0,5,4) > > for(i in 1:5){ + res=(A[sample(nrow(A),

Hi, I want to have a "vignette" in one of my R packages. Hence, I added an Sweave file into the /inst/doc subdirectory of this package. Unfortunately, 'R CMD check' gives a warning: ========================================== [...] * checking tests ... OK * checking package vignettes in 'inst/doc' ...

Hi, R core team I am using the function {aidsEst} in package [micEcon] to do an AIDS model now. So far, everything is good. But I want to test the auto correlation and heteroskedasticity of the individual equation from AIDS demand system. How can I return the individual equation? PS: serial correlation test is {bgtest} in package [lmtest] and heteroskedasticity is {bptest} in package

Hi, since nobody answered to my first message, I try to explain my problem more clearly and more general this time: I have a data set in my R package "micEcon", which has many variables (82). Therefore, I would like to avoid to describe all variables in the "\format" section of the documentation (.Rd file). However, doing this lets "R CMD check" complain about

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 trying to create a few menus using prototype.js "insert" function. I create a table using ''new Element("table")'', insert it in DIV and then add links - one row per link (or the other way round - create a full table, then insert it). I initially wrote a code that worked fine in Firefox, but did not in IE (currently testing with 6.0): function

I am finding complex analyses easier than some elementary operations in R. In particular I want to do some low level exploratory data analyses with data in a data frame but cannot find commands to easily insert, remove (delete), rename, and re-order (arbitrarily, not sort) columns. I see that the micEcon package has an insertCol command, but that is for matrices, not data frames. I have looked

Hello folks, I am trying to estimate the two-step Heckman regression model. I would like to make an adjustment for intragroup correlations. Stata can implement this with the "cluster" option, but I am really hoping to stick with R. It seems that the micEcon package is the primary source for this two-step regression model (i.e., heckit), but I can't find a way to make the

Hi, I have used the heckit function in micEcon. Now I would like to evaluate the fit of the probit part of the model but when I enter AIC(sk$probit) I get this error Error in logLik(object) : no applicable method for "logLik" How can I then get the AIC for this model? Side question: If you know - from the top of your head - some link to readings dealing with evaluating the
