PDMIFCLUST: PDMIFCLUST

In PDMIF: Fits Heterogeneous Panel Data Models

PDMIFCLUST

Description

Under a pre-specified number of groups and the number of common factors, this function implements clustering for N individuals in the panels. Each of individuals in the group are subject to the group-specific unobserved common factors.

Usage

PDMIFCLUST(X, Y, NGfactors, NLfactors, Maxit = 100, tol = 0.001)

Arguments

X	The (NT) times p design matrix, without an intercept where N=number of individuals, T=length of time series, p=number of explanatory variables.
Y	The T times N panel of response where N=number of individuals, T=length of time series.
NGfactors	A pre-specified number of common factors across groups (see example).
NLfactors	A pre-specified number of factors in each groups (see example).
Maxit	A maximum number of iterations in optimization. Default is 100.
tol	Tolerance level of convergence. Default is 0.001.

Value

A list with the following components:

• Label: The estimated group membership for each of the individuals.

• Coefficients: The estimated heterogeneous coefficients.

• Lower05: Lower end (5%) of the 90% confidence interval of the regression coefficients.

• Upper95: Upper end (95%) of the 90% confidence interval of the regression coefficients.

• GlobalFactors: The estimated common factors across groups.

• GlobalLoadings: The estimated factor loadings for the common factors.

• GroupFactors: The estimated group-specific factors.

• GroupLoadings: The estimated factor loadings for each group.

• pval: p-value for testing hypothesis on heterogeneous coefficients.

• Se: Standard error of the estimated regression coefficients.
