cquad_pseudo {cquad}

Pseudo conditional maximum likelihood estimation of the dynamic logit model

Description

Estimate the dynamic logit model for binary longitudinal data by the pseudo conditional maximum likelihood method proposed by Bartolucci & Nigro (2012).

Usage

cquad_pseudo(id, yv, X = NULL, be = NULL, w = rep(1,n), Ttol=10)

Arguments

id

list of the reference unit of each observation

yv

corresponding vector of response variables

X

corresponding matrix of covariates (optional)

be

initial vector of parameters (optional)

w

vector of weights (optional)

Ttol

Threshold individual observations that activates the recursive algorithm (default=10)

Value

formula

formula defining the model

lk

conditional log-likelihood value

coefficients

estimate of the regression parameters (including for the lag-response)

vcov

asymptotic variance-covariance matrix for the parameter estimates

scv

matrix of individual scores

J

Hessian of the log-likelihood function

se

standard errors

se2

robust standard errors that also take into account the first step

Tv

number of time occasions for each unit
