Linear Regression MT#

Set of procedures for estimating single equations or a simultaneous system of equations in GAUSS.

Description#

The Linear Regression MT application module is a set of procedures for estimating single equations or a simultaneous system of equations. It allows constraints on coefficients, calculates het-con standard errors, and includes two-stage least squares, three-stage least squares, and seemingly unrelated regression. It is thread-safe and takes advantage of structures found in later versions of GAUSS.

Installation#

If you’re interested in purchasing LRMT Please contact us to request pricing and installation information.

If you already own LRMT , you can use the GAUSS Package Manager for quick download and installation.

Requires GAUSS/GAUSS Engine/GAUSS Light v8.0 or higher.

Key Features#

Provides convenient and comprehensive tools for linear regression including:

  • Heteroskedastic-consistent standard errors.

  • Performs both influence and collinearity diagnostics inside the ordinary least squares routine (OLS).

  • All regression procedures can be run at a specified data range.

  • Performs multiple linear hypothesis testing with any form.

  • Estimates regressions with linear restrictions.

  • Accommodates large data sets with multiple variables.

  • Stores all important test statistics and estimated coefficients in an efficient manner.

Thorough Documentation#

The comprehensive user’s guide includes both a well-written tutorial and an informative reference section. Additional topics are included to enrich the usage of the procedures. These include:

  • Joint confidence region for beta estimates.

  • Tests for heteroskedasticity.

  • Tests of structural change.

  • Using ordinary least squares to estimate a translog cost function.

  • Using seemingly unrelated regression to estimate a system of cost share equations.

  • Using three-stage least squares to estimate Klein’s Model I.
