similar to: extracting Pr>ltl from robcov/ols (Design)

Hi R-helpers I have a dataframe DF (lets say with the variables, y, x1, x2, x3, ..., clust) containing relatively many NAs. When I fit an ordinal regression model with the function lrm from the Design library: model.lrm <- lrm(y ~ x1 + x2, data=DF, x=TRUE, y=TRUE) it will by default delete missing values in the variables y, x1, x2. Based on model.lrm, I want to apply the robust covariance

Hi, I am trying to figure out exactly what the bootcov() function in the Design package is doing within the context of clustered data. From reading the documentation/source code it appears that using bootcov() with the cluster argument constructs standard errors by resampling whole clusters of observations with replacement rather than resampling individual observations. Is that right, and is

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

Dear all, I would like to know if it possible to use the the robcov()-command in the Design- package in order to obtain a robust variance-estimate that adjusts for within-cluster correlation. Does the ids-option in the survey-package the same job? TIA, Bernd

Dear list, I made a logistic regression model (MyModel) using lrm and penalization by pentrace for data of 104 patients, which consists of 5 explanatory variables and one binary outcome (poor/good). Then, I found bootcov and robcov function in rms package for calculation of confidence range of coefficients and odds ratio by bootstrap covariance matrix and Huber-White sandwich method,

If I wanted to fit a logit model and account for clustering of observations, I would do something like: library(Design) f <- lrm(Y1 ~ X1 + X2, x=TRUE, y=TRUE, data=d) g <- robcov(f, d$st.year) What would I do if I wanted to do the same thing with a probit model? ?robcov says the input model must come from the Design package, but the Design package appears not to do probit? Thanks very

Dear all, my aim is to estimate the efficacy over time of a treatment for headache prevention. Data consist of long sequences of repeated binary outcomes (1 if the subject has at least 1 episode of headache , 0 otherwise) on subjects randomized to placebo or treatment. I have fit a logistic regression model with Huber-White cluster sandwich covariance estimator. I have put in the model the

I am using the Design library and robcov to compute variance-covariance matrices for clustered data regression. Is there an easy way to compute the F-test (i.e. linear hypothesis) for clustered data regression ? Thanks in advance! Benn

Please help, I have a strange problem. I've got a balanced panel data set. I use dummy variable regression and I've got results with lm function. summary(lm(y ~ post + t19961 + t19962 + t19963 + t19964 + t19971 + t19972 + t19973 + t19974 + t19981+factor( id))) The problem is that I would like to get my standard errors clustered but then gets the following error message: f<-(lm(y ~

I am trying to compute the white heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors (also called the Huber standard errors) in a linear model, but I can't seem to find a function to do it. I know that the design library in S+ has something like this (robcov?), but I have not yet seen this library ported to R. Anyone know if there is already a function built into R to do this relatively simple job?

Hi, I am trying to obtain the heteroskedasticity consitent standard errors (HCSE) after apply 2SLS. I obtain 2SLS through tsls from package sem or systemfit: #### tsls #### library (sem) Reg2SLS <-tsls(LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D,~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D) summary (Reg2SLS) #### systemfit #### library (systemfit) RS <- LnP~Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D Inst <- ~I2+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D labels

Hi, I'm using maxlik with functions specified (L, his gradient & hessian). Now I would like determine some robust standard errors of my estimators. So I 'm try to use vcovHC, or hccm or robcov for example but in use one of them with my result of maxlik, I've a the following error message : Erreur dans terms.default(object) : no terms component Is there some attributes

First I have to say I am sorry because I have not been so clear in my previous e-mails. I will try to explain clearer what it is my problem. I have the following model: lnP=Sc+Ag+Ag2+Var+R+D In this model the variable Sc is endogenous and the rest are all objective exogenous variables. I verified that Sc is endogenous through a standard Hausman test. To determine this I defined before a new

A little quote from the official cabal forums: > Playing Cabal on linux is impossible thanks to gameguard, WINE (or Cedega) cannot correctly emulate the environment needed for gameguard to run which causes Cabal to exit with an error. You should check the WINE (and Cedega) websites for other people views/experiences trying to run any gameguard protected game on linux, none of them work. >

I am cleaning up the rms package to not export functions not to be called directly by users. rms uses generic functions defined in other packages. For example there is a latex method in the Hmisc package, and rms has a latex method for objects of class "anova.rms" so there are anova.rms and latex.anova.rms functions in rms. I use:

Using hccm() I got a heteroscedasticity correction factor on the diagonal of the return matrix, but I don't know how to incorporate this into my linear model: METHOD 1: > OLS1 <- lm(formula=uer92~uer+low2+mlo+spec+degree+hit) Coefficients: Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) -0.0623377 0.0323461 -1.927 0.057217 . uer 0.2274742 0.0758720

Hi, Recently, i worked in a pilot project to migrate a NT4 Domain to Samba3 + OpenLDAP. They have a quite large user base, approx. 2500 accounts, plus approx. 1800 groups, which 200 are local groups. Unfortunately, we faced some problems, and i'd like to know if anyone has faced them too, and how overcame them: - User Rights and Privileges: This is kinda new in latest Samba release, 3.0.11,

Hello, I'm an MD working in an eye clinic. I'm learning by myself to use R for use in my research works and for implementation in a software project. There are some authors who recomends the use of Cox regression as a substitute for Logistic regression (<a href="http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2288/3/21.pdf"> Barros AJD, Hirakata VN.

Dear all, I?ll need your help with obtaining robust clustered errors. I use polr command in MASS package m<?porl(y~x1+x2,data=mydata, method=probit). In the rms package, this is as simple as: clusterSE<?robcov(m, mydata$id). Is it possible to do something similar for polr object as well?
