This function extracts the information about the structure of the individual and time dimensions of panel data. Grouping information can also be extracted if the panel data were created with a grouping variable.

Panel data are stored in a "pdata.frame"
which has an "index"
attribute. Fitted models in "plm"
have a "model"
element which
is also a "pdata.frame"
and therefore also has an "index"
attribute. Finally, each series, once extracted from a
"pdata.frame"
, becomes of class "pseries"
, which also has this
"index"
attribute. "index"
methods are available for all these
objects. The argument "which"
indicates which index should be
extracted. If which = NULL
, all indexes are extracted. "which"
can also be a vector of length 1, 2, or 3 (3 only if the pdata
frame was constructed with an additional group index) containing
either characters (the names of the individual variable and/or of
the time variable and/or the group variable or "id"
and "time"
)
and "group"
or integers (1 for the individual index, 2 for the
time index, and 3 for the group index (the latter only if the pdata
frame was constructed with such).)
A vector or an object of class c("pindex","data.frame")
containing either one index, individual and time index, or (any
combination of) individual, time and group indexes.
