Overview

About

Maintained by Tobias RuettenauerFirst published 2019-03-019 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides the function feis() to estimate fixed effects individual slope (FEIS) models. The FEIS model constitutes a more general version of the often-used fixed effects (FE) panel model, as implemented in the package 'plm' by Croissant and Millo (2008) doi:10.18637/jss.v027.i02. In FEIS models, data are not only person demeaned like in conventional FE models, but detrended by the predicted individual slope of each person or group. Estimation is performed by applying least squares lm() to the transformed data. For more details on FEIS models see Bruederl and Ludwig (2015, ISBN:1446252442); Frees (2001) doi:10.2307/3316008; Polachek and Kim (1994) doi:10.1016/0304-4076(94)90075-2; Ruettenauer and Ludwig (2020) doi:10.1177/0049124120926211; Wooldridge (2010, ISBN:0262294354). To test consistency of conventional FE and random effects estimators against heterogeneous slopes, the package also provides the functions feistest() for an artificial regression test and bsfeistest() for a bootstrapped version of the Hausman test.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("feisr", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ruettenauer/feisr")

Development version from ruettenauer/feisr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-feisr

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-feisr

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-feisr

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
