similar to: UNIX Installation of package "systemfit" fails

Dear list I am trying installing a package under unix, the command as below works in some case but not some other cases, the primary syndrome is R will stop there with a message: (say I am trying to install the package SASxport) ########################### Warning in install.packages("SASxport", dependencies = TRUE) : argument 'lib' is missing: using

I tried unnder R 2.9.0 and R 2.8.1. Both versions failed to install 'systemfit'. I downloaded file 'systemfit_1[1].0-8.zip' to install the package. I am using Windows 2000 service pack 4. The error message is: Error in gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In gzfile(file, "r") : cannot open compressed file

Hello. I am still a newbie in R. Excuse me if I am asking something obvious. My efforts to get an answer through browsing the mailing archives failed. I want to perform an augmented Dickey-Fuller test and to obtain AIC and BIC and to be able to impose some linear restrictions on the ADF regression so as to decide the correct order of autoregression. However I could find no obvious way to impose

Hi, I added a new function "predict.systemfit" to our package "systemfit" to make it closer to other packages (e.g. lm). Now "R CMD check" complains that the generic function "predict" has only the argument "object", while our function "predict.systemfit" has more arguments. However, the function "predict.lm" has also more

I am having problem using output of lm() function for further analysing using systemfit package. Basicaly, the problem s following - I generate several formulas using lm() > fo1 <- lm(r98[,2] ~ f98[,1] + f98[,2] + ... + f98[,43]) > fo2 <- lm(r98[,1] ~ f98[,1] + f98[,2] + ... + f98[,43]) and than I want to estimate a general model using package systemfit. > fitsur <-

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

The 'systemfit' function in systemfit 0.7-3 CRAN package seems to have a problem with formulas that contain transformed (eg. log) variables. If I have my data in a data frame, apparently systemfit doesn't "pass" the information of where the variables should be taken to the transforming function. I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or just a limitation, I was just

Hey, I want to implement a structural model with the package systemfit with some linear and nonlinear constraints. How to implement linear restrictions is clear. Does anybody know how to set up nonlinear restrictions in the systemfit packages. For example: beta1 = beta2-(beta4/beta6) I look forward to your reply -- View this message in context:

Hello !   I’m trying to estimate a system of equation (demand and supply) using the systemfit package.  My program is:   library(systemfit) demand <- tsyud ~ tsyud1 + tsucp + tspo + tssn supply <- tscn ~ tsyn + tsqn + tsksn + tsucp system <- list(demand=eqdemand, learning = eqsupply) labels <- list(demand="eqdemand", learning="eqsupply") inst <- ~ tsupp1 + tsupp2

How does one specify the weights for WLS in the systemfit command ? That is, there is a weight option in lm(), but there doesn't seem to be weight option for systemfit("WLS") Thanks!

Hi, I have two products which are substitudes. I try to fix a system as below to mydata. Demand1 = A1 -B1*Price1 + C1*Price2 Demand2 = A2 +B2*Price1 - C2*Price2 I would expect C1 & B2 to be symmetric, If they are truly substitude. How can I enforce this symmetry when creating a system of equations via SystemFit ? -- View this message in context:

Dear Users, I want to know whether systemfit can solve simultaneous equations using panel data. Regards Arunima [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

  Dear Arne Henningsen,   I send you this message because I have question with regard to systemfit package. I hope you answer to my request.   I estimated a system of equation bu using SUR method. The function summary(xx) gives me summary of estimated equation system. However, this function does not give my the value of the durbin watson statistic  for each one of my equations (to chek for serial

Hello to everyone, I have 2 problems and would be very pleased if anyone can help me: 1) When I use the package "systemfit" for SUR regressions, I get two different variance-covariance matrices when I firstly do the SUR regression ("The covariance matrix of the residuals used for estimation") and secondly do the OLS regressions. In the manual for "systemfit" on page

Thank you, Greg, and also to Scott Ellison, who replied privately. I am in the process of trying out both suggestions. After I sent my initial message, I came across the Systemfit package, which allows specification of constraints on parameters. In theory, this should solve my problem perfectly. However, I was not able to get it to work with my data, as every attempt yielded the following

I might be sorry for asking this question :-) I have two equations and I tried to estimate them individually with "lm" and "gls", and then in a system (using systemfit) with "OLS", "WLS" and "SUR". Quite surprisingly (for myself at least) the results are identical to the last digit. Could someone (please!) give a hint as to what am I

Dear friends, I have written the following lines in R console wich already exist in pdf file systemfit: data( "GrunfeldGreene" ) library( "plm" ) GGPanel <- plm.data( GrunfeldGreene, c( "firm", "year" ) ) greeneSur <- systemfit( invest ~ value + capital, method = "SUR", + data = GGPanel ) greenSur I have obtained the following incomplete

Surprisingly, I played around with some test code and below actually creates equations that look correct. tempmat<-matrix(10,nrow=6,ncol=6) restrictmat<-diag(6) colnames(tempmat)<-c("AUD.l1","CHF.l1","CAD.l1","GBP.l1","EUR.l1","JPY.l 1")

I am new to R, so bear with me if my question is trivial. I ran a system of simultaneous equations with panel data and using the systemfit program, but the results came out by country. I want the results for the entire panel and not by country. What command will I use? Thanks! Belinda [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I get the following error message after using the sysfit package's function 'systemfitClassic': Error in data[[eqnVar]] : subscript out of bounds When I do this: MSYS1 <- cbind(Y, Num, F, PO, PD, GO, GD) MigOLS1 <- systemfitClassic("OLS", F ~ PO + PD + GO + GD, eqnVar = "Num", timeVar = "Y", data = MSYS1) and I get this error message: Error in
