R Documentation

Creates a model matrix to estimate the parameters of a Revealed Preference Matchings Model

Description

rpm.model.matrix assumes a bipartite network (i.e. two-sided matching market) It creates a model matrix according to the formula passed in. See rpm-terms for a description of the possible terms.

Usage

rpm.model.matrix(model.terms, Xall, Zall, intercept = TRUE)

Arguments

`model.terms`	For the details on the possible `<model terms>`, see `rpm-terms`. This includes the covariates used to construct the model matrix. They are used in conjunction with the model terms.
`Xall`	the unique types of women
`Zall`	the unique types of men
`intercept`	logical; If TRUE, the default, an intercept term is prepended.

Value

A list consists of the following elements:

`X`	the model matrix for women.
`Z`	the model matrix for men.
`Xnames`	the names of the covariates for women.
`Znames`	the names of the covariates for men.
