sim {goric}

Simulation from order restricted linear models

Description

Simulation function for orlm and orgls objects

Usage

sim(object, n.sims)

## S3 method for class 'orlm'
sim(object, n.sims)

## S3 method for class 'orgls'
sim(object, n.sims)

Arguments

object

an object of class "orlm" or "orgls".

n.sims

number of simulation replications.

Details

Given the estimated coefficients of a orlm or orgls model, a set new parameters are generated. n.sims new sets of observations are generated based on the unrestricted model; these new datasets are used to estimate a new set of model coefficients incorporating the given order restrictions.

Value

a list with sets of simulated parameters.
