Description

Creates a stratEst.data object.

Usage

stratEst.data(
  data,
  choice = "choice",
  input = c("input"),
  input.lag = 0,
  input.sep = "",
  id = "id",
  game = "game",
  period = "period",
  add = NULL,
  drop = NULL
)

Arguments

`data`	a `data.frame` in the long format.
`choice`	a character string. The variable in `data` which contains the discrete choices. Default is `"choice"`.
`input`	a character string. The names of the input generating variables in `data`. At least one input generating variable has to be specified. Default is `c("input")`.
`input.lag`	a numeric vector. The time lag in periods of the input generating variables. An integer or a vector of integers with as many elements as variables specified in the object `input`. Default is zero.
`input.sep`	a character string. Separates the input generating variables. Default is `""`.
`id`	a character string. The name of the variable in `data` that identifies observations of the same individual. Default is `"id"`.
`game`	a character string. The name of the variable in `data` that identifies observations of the same game. Default is `"game"`.
`period`	a character string. The name of the variable in `data` that identifies the periods of a game. Default is `"period"`.
`add`	a character vector. The names of variables in the global environment that should be added to the `stratEst.data` object. Default is `NULL`.
`drop`	a character vector. The names of variables in `data` that should be dropped. Default is `NULL`.

Details

The data generation function of the package.

Value

A stratEst.data object. A data frame in the long format with the following variables:

`id`	the variable that identifies observations of the same individual.
`game`	the variable that identifies observations of the same game.
`period`	the period of the game.
`choice`	the discrete choices.
`input`	the inputs.

Examples

## Transform the prisoner's dilemma data of Dal Bo and Frechette (2011).
data.DF2011 <- stratEst.data(DF2011, choice = "choice",
                             input=c("choice", "other.choice"), input.lag = 1)

## Transform the prisoner's dilemma data of Fudenberg, Rand, and Dreber (2012).
data.FRD2012 <- stratEst.data(data = FRD2012, choice = "choice",
                             input = c("last.choice", "last.other"))
