apollo_saveOutput function

Saves estimation results to files.

Writes files in the working/output directory with the estimation results.

apollo_saveOutput(model, saveOutput_settings = NA)

Arguments

• model: Model object. Estimated model object as returned by function apollo_estimate .

• saveOutput_settings: List. Contains settings for this function. User input is required for all settings except those with a default or marked as optional.

  • ‘printChange’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing difference between starting values and estimates. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printClassical’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing classical standard errors. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printCorr’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing parameters correlation matrix. If printClassical=TRUE, both classical and robust matrices are printed. For Bayesian estimation, this setting is used for the covariane of random parameters. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printCovar’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing parameters covariance matrix. If printClassical=TRUE, both classical and robust matrices are printed. For Bayesian estimation, this setting is used for the correlation of random parameters. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printDataReport’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing summary of choices in database and other diagnostics. FALSE by default.
  • ‘printFixed’ : Logical. TRUE for printing fixed parameters among estimated parameter. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printFunctions’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing apollo_control, apollo_randCoeff (when available), apollo_lcPars (when available) and apollo_probabilities. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printHBconvergence’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing Geweke convergence tests. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printHBiterations’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing an iterations report for HB estimation. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printModelStructure’ : Boolean. TRUE for printing model structure. TRUE by default.
  • ‘printOutliers’ : Boolean or Scalar. TRUE for printing 20 individuals with worst average fit across observations. FALSE by default. If Scalar is given, this replaces the default of 20.
  • ‘printPVal’ : Boolean or Scalar. TRUE or 1 for printing p-values for one-sided test, 2 for printing p-values for two-sided test, FALSE for not printing p-values. FALSE by default.
  • ‘printT1’ : Boolean. If TRUE, t-test for H0: apollo_beta=1 are printed. FALSE by default.
  • ‘saveEst’ : Boolean. TRUE for saving estimated parameters and standard errors to a CSV file. TRUE by default.
  • ‘saveCorr’ : Boolean. TRUE for saving estimated correlation matrix to a CSV file. FALSE by default.
  • ‘saveCov’ : Boolean. TRUE for saving estimated covariance matrix to a CSV file. FALSE by default.
  • ‘saveHBiterations’ : Boolean. TRUE for including HB iterations in the saved model object. FALSE by default.
  • ‘saveModelObject’ : Boolean. TRUE to save the R model object to a file (use apollo_loadModel to load it to memory). TRUE by default.
  • ‘saveOld’ : Boolean. If TRUE, existing files are kept with an added OLD suffix. If not, they are overwritten. TRUE by default.
  • ‘writeF12’ : Boolean. TRUE for writing results into an F12 file (ALOGIT format). FALSE by default.

Returns

nothing

Details

Estimation results are saved different files in the working/output directory:

• ‘(modelName)_corr.csv’ CSV file with the estimated classical correlation matrix. Only when bayesian estimation was not used.
• ‘(modelName)_covar.csv’ CSV file with the estimated classical covariance matrix. Only when bayesian estimation was not used.
• ‘(modelName)_estimates.csv’ CSV file with the estimated parameter values, their standars errors, and t-ratios.
• ‘(modelName).F12’ F12 file with model results. Compatible with ALOGIT.
• ‘(modelName)_output.txt’ Text file with the output produced by function apollo_modelOutput.
• ‘(modelName)_robcorr.csv’ CSV file with the estimated robust correlation matrix. Only when bayesian estimation was not used.
• ‘(modelName)_robcovar.csv’ CSV file with the estimated robust covariance matrix. Only when bayesian estimation was not used.
