summary.selection: Summarizing Selection Estimations

Description

Print or return a summary of a selection estimation.

Usage

# S3 method for selection
summary(object, ...)
   # S3 method for summary.selection
print(x,
      digits = max(3, getOption("digits") - 3),
      part = "full", ...)

Arguments

object

an object of class 'selection'.

x

an object of class 'summary.selection'.

part

character string: which parts of the summary to print: "full" for all the estimated parameters (probit selection, outcome estimates, correlation and residual variance), or "outcome" for the outcome results only.

digits

numeric, (suggested) number of significant digits.

...

currently not used.

Value

Summary methods return an object of class summary.selection. Print methods return the argument invisibly.

Details

The variance-covariance matrix of the two-step estimator is currently implemented only for tobit-2 (sample selection) models, but not for the tobit-5 (switching regression) model.

# summary of the 1st step probit estimation (Example 17.1, p. 562f)
# and the 2nd step OLS regression (example 17.5, page 590)
summary( wooldridge )

# summary of the outcome equation only
print(summary(wooldridge), part="outcome")
