ecq {dlsem}

Lag shape constructors

Description

Lag shape constructors to be used in model formulas.

Usage

ecq(x, a, b, x.group = NULL, nlag = NULL)
qd(x, a, b, x.group = NULL, nlag = NULL)
ld(x, a, b, x.group = NULL, nlag = NULL)
gam(x, a, b, x.group = NULL, nlag = NULL)

Arguments

x

The name of the variable.

a, b

The shape parameters.

nlag

The number of lags considered. If NULL or more than 2/3 of the sample size, it is set equal to 2/3 of the sample size.

x.group

The name of the group factor (optional).

Examples

data(industry)
# example in linear regression
m1 <- lm(Consum ~ -1+Region+ecq(Job,0,5,x.group=Region), data=industry)
m2 <- lm(Consum ~ -1+Region+gam(Job,0.85,0.2,x.group=Region), data=industry)
