momentEstim function

Method for estimating models based on moment conditions

It estimates a model which is caracterized by the method getModel (see details).

## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.twoStep'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.twoStep.formula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'sysGmm.twoStep.formula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'tsls.twoStep.formula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.iterative.formula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.iterative'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.cue.formula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.cue'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGmm.eval'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGel.mod'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGel.modFormula'
momentEstim(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'baseGel.eval'
momentEstim(object, ...)

Arguments

• object: An object created by the method getModel
• ...: Other arguments when momentEstim is applied to an other class object

Returns

It returns an object of class determined by the argument "TypeGMM" of gmm. By default, it is of class baseGmm.res. It estimates the model and organize the results that will be finalized by the method FinRes. More methods can be created in order to use other GMM methods not yet included in the package.
