which

character string: "x" indicates the usual model matrix of the regressors, "xHat" indicates the model matrix of the fitted regressors, "z" indicates the matrix of instrumental variables.

...

currently ignored.

Value

model.matrix.systemfit returns a design matrix to estimate the specified system of equations.model.matrix.systemfit.equation returns a design matrix to estimate the specified formula of the respective equation.

Examples

data( "Kmenta" )
eqDemand <- consump ~ price + income
eqSupply <- consump ~ price + farmPrice + trend
system <- list( demand = eqDemand, supply = eqSupply )

## perform OLS of the system
fitols <- systemfit( system, data = Kmenta )

## design matrix of the entire system
model.matrix( fitols )

## design matrix of the first equation
model.matrix( fitols$eq[[ 1 ]] )
