Hello, I've had no luck finding an R package that has the ability to estimate a Tobit model allowing for heteroskedasticity (multiplicative, for example). Am I missing something in survReg? Is there another package that I'm unaware of? Is there an add-on package that will test for heteroskedasticity? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Alan Spearot -- Alan Spearot Department of Economics

Does anybody have any suggestions regarding applying standard regression packages lm(), hccm(), and others within a parallel environment? Most of the packages I've found only deal with iterative processes (bootstrap) or simple linear algebra. While the latter might help, I'd rather not program the estimation code. I'm currently using a IA-64 Teragrid system through UC San Diego.

Dear R-helpers, I have a very simple question and I really hope that someone could help me I would like to estimate a simple fixed effect regression model with clustered standard errors by individuals. For those using Stata, the counterpart would be xtreg with the "fe" option, or areg with the "absorb" option and in both case the clustering is achieved with "vce(cluster

Dear R-helpers, First of all, sorry for those who have (eventually) already received that request. The mail has been bumped several times, so I am not sure the list has received it... and I need help (if you have time)! ;-) I have a very simple question and I really hope that someone could help me I would like to estimate a simple fixed effect regression model with clustered standard errors by

Dear R users, I wish to manually demean a panel over time and entities. I tried to code the Wansbeek and Kapteyn (1989) transformation (from Baltagi's book Ch. 9). As a benchmark I use both the pmodel.response() and model.matrix() functions in package plm and the results from using dummy variables. As far as I understood the transformation (Ch.3), Q%*%y (with y being the dependent variable)

Hello again Max. A correction to my response from yesterday. Things were better than they seemed. I thought it over, checked Arellano's panel book and Driscoll and Kraay (Rev. Econ. Stud. 1998) and finally realized that vcovSCC does what you want: in fact, despite being born primarily for dealing with cross-sectional correlation, 'SCC' standard errors are robust to "both

Hi all, I was looking at the ValueMapper code this morning and I notice that it doesn't do type mapping for GlobalValues. Is this correct? I ask because I am seeing a case where I'm failing type assertions from ModuleLinker::linkGlobalInits() when an array initializer references an external global. It looks like the external global is being mapped directly and this causes an element

Dear R users, I have an unbalanced panel with an average of I=100 individuals and a total of T=1370 time intervals, i.e. T>>I. So far, I have been using the plm package. I wish to estimate a FE model like: res<-plm(x~c+v, data=pdata_frame, effect="twoways", model="within", na.action=na.omit) ?where c varies over i and t, and v represents an exogenous impact on x

Paul, Deryck, et al., Thanks for all of your help (OP isn't savvy--what was your first clue? <g>). After sufficient prodding, I went and looked and found the following URL, at our very own samba.org, for rpms for Samba v 3.0.14a:

Just a couple of questions for Aussie users/resellers! I have only just started to look at asterisk a couple of weeks ago and have found some very intresting discussions and some useful info on what can and can?t be done with it and technology. The questions i have is, Are there people using it is Aussie?( I would say yes so prob answered my own question ) :) Hardware, is the digium

Is there a way to get CTDB or Samba status/stats w/o forking a process? I am looking into writing Prometheus exporters for these. I'd prefer to make a "C" call in Golang than fork a process and scrape STDOUT. What are my options?

Full_Name: Steven McKinney Version: 2.6.0 OS: OS X Submission from: (NULL) (142.103.207.10) Function ar() in package "stats" is showing a quirky bug. Some calls to ar() run to completion, others throw an error. The bug is reproducible by several people on different machines, however, the ar() function itself ends up throwing the error sporadically. Several calls to ar() may be

On a Debian 3.0 system with user accounts stored in openldap, I have unix and windows auth working just fine through ldap. smbpasswd can change the samba passwd attributes, and passwd can change the unix password attributes. I'm trying to get pam_smbpass to work to keep everything in sync, but it only says "Failed to find entry for user test0." which indicates to me that its
