pmodel.response {plm}R Documentation

A function to extract the model.response

Description

pmodel.response has several methods to conveniently extract the response of several objects.

Usage

pmodel.response(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
pmodel.response(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'formula'
pmodel.response(object, data, ...)
## S3 method for class 'plm'
pmodel.response(object, ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class "plm", or a formula of class "pFormula",

data

a data.frame

...

further arguments.

Details

The model response is extracted from a pdata.frame (where the response must reside in the first column; this is the case for a model frame), a pFormula + data or a plm object, and the transformation specified by effect and model is applied to it.
Constructing the model frame first ensures proper NA handling and the response being placed in the first column, see also Examples for usage.

Value

A numeric vector.

Examples

# First, make a pdata.frame
data(Grunfeld)
pGrunfeld <- pdata.frame(Grunfeld)

# then make a model frame from a pFormula and a pdata.frame
pform <- pFormula(inv ~ value + capital)
mf <- model.frame(pform, data = pGrunfeld)

# construct (transformed) response of the within model
resp <- pmodel.response(pform, data = mf, model = "within", effect = "individual")

# retrieve (transformed) response directly from model frame
resp_mf <- pmodel.response(mf, model = "within", effect = "individual")

# retrieve (transformed) response from a plm object, i.e. an estimated model
fe_model <- plm(pform, data = pGrunfeld, model = "within")
pmodel.response(fe_model)

# same as constructed before
all.equal(resp, pmodel.response(fe_model), check.attributes = FALSE) # TRUE
