pFtest: F Test for Individual and/or Time Effects

In plm: Linear Models for Panel Data

F Test for Individual and/or Time Effects

Description

Test of individual and/or time effects based on the comparison of the within and the pooling model.

Usage

pFtest(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
pFtest(x, data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'plm'
pFtest(x, z, ...)

Arguments

x	an object of class "plm" or of class "formula",
...	further arguments.
data	a data.frame,
z	an object of class "plm",

Details

For the plm method, the argument of this function is two plm objects, the first being a within model, the second a pooling model. The effects tested are either individual, time or twoways, depending on the effects introduced in the within model.

Value

An object of class "htest".

Examples

data("Grunfeld", package="plm")
gp <- plm(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld, model = "pooling")
gi <- plm(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld,
          effect = "individual", model = "within")
gt <- plm(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld,
          effect = "time", model = "within")
gd <- plm(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld,
          effect = "twoways", model = "within")
pFtest(gi, gp)
pFtest(gt, gp)
pFtest(gd, gp)
pFtest(inv ~ value + capital, data = Grunfeld, effect = "twoways")
