rpm.model.matrix {rpm}

Creates a model matrix to estimate the parameters of a Revealed Preference Matchings Model

Description

rpm.model.matrix assumes a bipartite network (i.e. two-sided matching market) It creates a model matrix according to the formula passed in. See rpm-terms for a description of the possible terms.

Usage

rpm.model.matrix(model.terms, Xall, Zall, intercept = TRUE)

Arguments

model.terms

For the details on the possible <model terms>, see rpm-terms. This includes the covariates used to construct the model matrix. They are used in conjunction with the model terms.

Xall

the unique types of women

Zall

the unique types of men

intercept

logical; If TRUE, the default, an intercept term is prepended.

Value

A list consists of the following elements:

X

the model matrix for women.

Z

the model matrix for men.

Xnames

the names of the covariates for women.

Znames

the names of the covariates for men.
