When using function heckit() from package ‘sampleSelection’, is there anyway to make t-tests for the coefficients using robust covariance matrix estimator? By “robust” I mean something like if a had an object ‘lm’ called “reg” and then used: > coeftest(reg, vcov = vcovHC(reg)). I’m asking this because in Stata we could use function heckman and then use vce option “robust”. We could do the

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

I have so far used the following command glm(formula = s ~ age + gender + gemedu + gemhinc + es_gdppc + imf_pop + estbbo_m, family = binomial(link = "probit")) My question is 1. How do i discard the non significant selection variables (one out of the seven variables above is non-significant) and calculate the Inverse Mills Ratio of the significant variables 2. I need the inverse

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

Hi I am actually running the White test for correcting Heteroscedasticity. I used sandwich() & car(), however the output shows the updated t test of coefficients, with revised Standard Errors, however the estimates remained same. My problem is that the residuals formed a pattern in the original regression equation. After running the White's test, I got some new standard errors - but

Hi I have data for voting behaviour on two (related) binary votes. I want to examine the second vote, running separate regressions for groups who voted different ways on the first vote. As the votes are not independent, I guess that there is an issue with selection bias. So, I think I would like to fit a heckit style model but with a binary dependent variable - so, in effect, two successive

Hello, I am working on reproducing someone's analysis which was done in Stata. The analysis is estimation of a standard Heckman sample selection model (Tobit-2), for which I am using the sampleSelection package and the selection() function. I have a few problems with the estimation: 1) The reported standard error for all estimates is Inf ... vcov(selectionObject) yields Inf in every

Hi there Within sampleSelection, I'm trying to calculate the marginal effects for variables that are present in both the selection and outcome models. For example, age might have a positive effect on probability of selection, but then a negative effect on the outcome variable. i.e. Model<-selection(participation~age, frequency~age, ...) Documentation elsewhere describes one method for

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

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' ... WARNING --- f?hre texi2dvi auf Vignetten aus * creating

Hi, I wrote a function to perform a two-step Heckman (also known as "heckit") estimation. This function is mainly a wrapper function to "glm" (1st step probit estimation) and "lm" (2nd step OLS estimation). Though this function is not perfect yet, it is IMHO already very useful. Since there were some questions about Heckmann estimation in this list, I would like

Hi, I have good understanding on Econometrics and statistical techniques. However, I am new to R. What would be the best way to learn R as I would be one of the few in my team started exploring R in your team. I have got a few downloads on R introduction, but I am not a FAN of online reading. Can some one guide me with some books on R and statistical models using R. Sincere thanks.... And

Is anyone aware of an R procedure similar to STATA's "heckprob" procedure? "Heckprob" fits maximum likelihood probit models correcting for sample selection bias. Thanks, Richard Saba Department of Economics Auburn University Email: sabaric@auburn.edu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am currently on a placement here at GSK for my studies, and I'm working on Heckman Models. I have to make simulations, in order to see whether these models are efficient or not. I have to generate a dataset under the following constraints: - outcome is 0 or 1 - one control group, one treatment group, there must be no treatment effect - generate one continuous variable and one

Dear R Users: We have splitted up the micEcon package into three packages: a) Package "maxLik" provides tools for maximum likelihood estimations (see http://www.maxLik.org). b) Package "sampleSelection" provides tools for estimating Heckman-type sample selection/generalized tobit models (see http://www.sampleSelection.org). c) Package "micEcon" contains the

Dear R Help, I'm using the sampleSelection library to run a heckman model. The default is to use a probit model for the selection equation. I would like to know if it is possible to use a clog-log for the selection equation either with the sampleSelection library or in a different way. Is this possible? I'd appreciate any advice! -- Dan McDowell [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am trying to figure out the sanctioned way for 'R CMD check pkg' to make sure that the examples in help files give the expected results. Writing R Extensions says that check runs the help file examples (which INSTALL extracts from pkg/man/*.Rd and puts into files in pkg/R-ex). It looks like check concatenates all the example files, pkg/R-ex/*.R, into one file, pkg/pkg-Ex.R, which it
