LM Tests for Random Effects
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore practical methods of carrying out Lagrange Multiplier tests for variance components in two models in which the derivatives needed for the test are identically zero at the restricted estimates, the random effects probit model and the stochastic frontier model. The techniques are illustrated with two applications.

Testing Panel Data Regression Models with Spatial Error Correlation*
This paper derives several Lagrange Multiplier tests for the panel data regression model wih spatial error correlation. These tests draw upon two strands of earlier work. The Þrst is the LM tests for the spatial error correlation model discussed in Anselin (1988, 1999) and Anselin, Bera, Florax and Yoon (1996), and the second is the LM tests for the error component panel data model discussed in...
متن کاملTesting in a Random Effects Panel Data Model with Spatially Correlated Error Components and Spatially Lagged Dependent Variables
We propose a random effects panel data model with both spatially correlated error components and spatially lagged dependent variables. We focus on diagnostic testing procedures and derive Lagrange multiplier (LM) test statistics for a variety of hypotheses within this model. We first construct the joint LM test for both the individual random effects and the two spatial effects (spatial error co...
متن کاملTesting for heteroskedasticity and spatial correlation in a random effects panel data model
A panel data regression model with heteroskedastic as well as spatially correlated disturbancesis considered, and a joint LM test for homoskedasticity and no spatial correlation is derived. In addition, a conditional LM test for no spatial correlation given heteroskedasticity, as well as a conditional LM test for homoskedasticity given spatial correlation, are also derived. These LM tests are c...
متن کاملLM Test of Neglected Correlated Random E¤ects and Its Application
Econometric model speci cation is usually tested by exploiting one of the three principles, including (i) the Wald test, which is based on the asymptotic distribution of parameter estimates; (ii) the Likelihood Ratio (LR) test; and (iii) the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) procedure, which is based on the derivative of the log likelihood (score) imposing the hypothesis.1 The LM procedure seems to domi...
متن کاملLinear and threshold model genetic parameters for disease, fertility and milk production in dairy cattle
This study provides estimates of genetic parameters for various diseases, fertility and 305-day milk production traits in dairy cattle using data from a UK national milk recording scheme. The data set consisted of 63891 multiple lactation records on diseases (mastitis, lameness, milk fever, ketosis and tetany), fertility traits (calving interval, conception to first service, number of services ...
