cquad_ext: Conditional maximum likelihood estimation of the quadratic exponential model for panel data

Description

Fit by conditional maximum likelihood the model for binary longitudinal data proposed by Bartolucci & Nigro (2010).

Usage

Value

formula

formula defining the model

lk

conditional log-likelihood value

coefficients

estimate of the regression parameters (including for the lag-response)

vcov

asymptotic variance-covariance matrix for the parameter estimates

scv

matrix of individual scores

J

Hessian of the log-likelihood function

se

standard errors

ser

robust standard errors

Tv

number of time occasions for each unit

Arguments

id

list of the reference unit of each observation

yv

corresponding vector of response variables

X

corresponding matrix of covariates (optional)

be

initial vector of parameters (optional)

w

vector of weights (optional)

Ttol
