  • 2010/11/24 - Added Honda (1985), King and Wu (1997), SLM (Moulton and Randolph, 1989), GHM (Gourierouxet al., 1982) LM tests.

The documentation file in this add-in had the wrong name. That has now been fixed.

BP LM Test for Random Effects Add-in

Postby y.khairulin » Fri Aug 13, 2010 12:41 am

Hi guys,

I've just installed the LM test for Random Effects add-in .
When I run this add-in from equation object (Proc->Add-ins->Breusch-Pagan Random Effects LM test) it returns an error saying: Log or square root of negative number.
I do not understand where the problem may come from, any advice?

Thanks.

Could you post your workfile with the equation in question?

Hi,

Please find attached the workfile with equation.

Thanks.

There's something odd about that equation. Did you copy it from another workfile, or add data to the workfile after estimating it?

It is no longer estimatable.

I resampled it and included less periods due to large size of the file.

This is the workfile for the full sample, I used 7zip to compress, hope this works.

Btw, thx for the fast reply.

Working on it...

The way it is currently calculating things will only work on panel equations that use every cross-section in the workfile. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to work on equations that only use some cross-sections.

Try re-downloading the add-in. I think this one should work (for you both?)
