ivtobit: Simultaneous-equation tobit model

In tobit1: One Equation Tobit Model

Simultaneous-equation tobit model

Description

Estimation of simultaneous-equation models when the response is trunctaed

Usage

ivtobit(
  formula,
  data,
  subset = NULL,
  left = 0,
  right = Inf,
  method = c("ml", "2steps"),
  robust = TRUE,
  trace = 0
)

Arguments

formula	a symbolic description of the model,
data	a data frame,
subset	a subset,
left, right	left and right limits of the dependent variable. The default is respectively 0 and +Inf which corresponds to the most classic (left-zero truncated) tobit model,
method	one of "ml" for maximum likelihood, "2steps"',
robust	a boolean, if TRUE, a consistent estimation of the covariance of the coefficients is used for the 2-steps method,
trace	a boolean (the default if FALSE) if TRUE some information about the optimization process is printed,

Value

An object of class c('tobit1', 'lm'), see tobit1::tobit1 for more details.
