Description

This manual page collects a list of examples from the book. Some solutions might not be exact and the list is certainly not complete. If you have suggestions for improvement (preferably in the form of code), please contact the package maintainer.

## Chapter 5: diagnostic tests (p. 111-115)

## Glejser tests (p. 112)

## Goldfeld-Quandt test (p. 112)
gqtest(cig_lm2, order.by = ~ income, data = CigarettesB, fraction = 12, alternative = "less")
## NOTE: Baltagi computes the test statistic as mss1/mss2,
## i.e., tries to find decreasing variances. gqtest() always uses
## mss2/mss1 and has an "alternative" argument.

## Spearman rank correlation test (p. 113)
cor.test(~ ares + income, data = CigarettesB, method = "spearman")
## Breusch-Pagan test (p. 113)
bptest(cig_lm2, varformula = ~ income, data = CigarettesB, student = FALSE)
## White test (Table 5.1, p. 113)
bptest(cig_lm2, ~ income * price + I(income^2) + I(price^2), data = CigarettesB)
## White HC standard errors (Table 5.2, p. 114)
coeftest(cig_lm2, vcov = vcovHC(cig_lm2, type = "HC1"))
## Jarque-Bera test (Figure 5.2, p. 115)
hist(residuals(cig_lm2), breaks = 16, ylim = c(0, 10), col = "lightgray")
