expreg: Instrumental variable estimation for exponential conditional mean models

Description

Exponential conditional mean models are particularly useful for non-negative responses (including count data). Least squares and one or two steps IV estimators are available

Usage

expreg(
  formula,
  data,
  subset,
  weights,
  na.action,
  offset,
  method = c("iv", "gmm", "ls"),
  error = c("mult", "add"),
  ...
)

Value

an object of class "micsr", see micsr::micsr for further details.

Arguments

formula

a two-part right hand side formula, the first part describing the covariates and the second part the instruments

data

a data frame,

subset, weights, na.action, offset

see stats::lm

method

one of "gmm" (the default), "iv" or ls.

error

one of "mult" (the default) or "add" in order to get a model with respectively a multiplicative or an additive error
