DA_AllEE5: Data Analysis for Combining (N1,M1) + (N1,M2) + (N2,M1) +...

Description Usage Arguments Details Value References Examples

Description

The main function is to solve the estimating equations constructed by combining all pairs (N1,M1), (N1,M2), (N2,M1) and (N2,M2) with selection bias probility π(s,η) included.

Usage

1

Arguments

realdata_covariates

a list contains the following data matrics: CASEZ_1, CASEZ_2, CASEZhat_1, CASEZhat_2, CASEZhat_22, CONTZ_1, CONTZ_2, CONTZhat_1, CONTZhat_2, CONTZhat_22. For details please see definition in the help of realdata_covariates. Please be noted that all the variables have to use the same name as listed above.

realdata_alpha

a list contains the following data matrics: prob_case_1, prob_case_11, prob_case_2, prob_case_22, prob_cont_1, prob_cont_2, pwt_cont_2. details please see definition in the help of realdata_alpha. Please be noted that all the variables have to use the same name as listed above.

beta0

We need an initial parameter for solver "nleqslv". Default value is beta0=c(-5.4163,0.7790,-0.1289,0.2773,-0.5510,0.1568,0.4353,-0.6895)

Details

The function solves GMM combined estimating equation with handling selection bias, see Huang(2014).

Value

A list of estimator and its standard deviation.
