gmmNlWald

Wald test for GMM with nonlinear restrictions

CALLING SEQUENCE

rwd = gmmNlWald(rgmm,R,np)

PARAMETERS

Input

* rgmm = tlist result for unrestricted estimation

* R = (s x 1) vector of nonlinear restriction of the form R(p) = 0, example R = ['p1-1/p2';'p5-p3*p4'];

* np = 'noprint' if the user does not want to print the results

 

Output

* rwd = a tlist with:

  -rwd('chistat') = test statisitc

  -rwd('pvalue') = pvalue of the test

  -rwd('df') = number restriction

DESCRIPTION

Performs Wald test for GMM with nonlinear restrictions

EXAMPLE

X = [ones(1000,1) grand(1000,1,'nor',0,1) grand(1000,1,'nor',0,1)];
b = [0;1;-1];
e = grand(1000,1,'nor',0,1);
y = X*b + e;
 
gmmopt = tlist(['gmm';'momt';'jake';'prt';'gmmit';'S']);
gmmopt('prt')=1;
gmmopt('gmmit') = 1;
gmmopt('S')='W';
gmmopt('momt')='gmmLinM';
gmmopt('jake')='gmmLinJ';
 
b0=zeros(3,1);
 
 uout=gmm('y',gmmopt,'exo=''X''','ivar=''X''','parm0=b0');
 R = 'p1';
 rw=gmmNlWald(uout,R);
//Examples taken from gmmLin_d(): Test if the first parameter is null
