Otherwise, {cmd:frm_reset} is applied to the last estimation results, even if these were not already stored. {title:Description} {pstd} {cmd:frm_reset} applies the RESET test statistic to fractional regression models estimated via {help frm:frm}. {cmd:frm_reset} may be used to test the link specification of: (i) one-part fractional regression models; (ii) the binary component of two-part fractional regression models; and (iii) the fractional component of two-part fractional regression models. See Ramalho, Ramalho and Murteira (2011) for details on the application of the RESET test in the fractional regression framework. {title:Options} {phang} {opt lastpower(#)}} specify the maximum power of the linear predictor to be used in the RESET test. The default option is {cmd:lastpower(3)}, which implies that two RESET statistics are computed, one using quadratic powers of the fitted values as test variable and the other considering quadratic and cubic powers of the fitted values as test variables. {phang} {opt lm} specifies that the LM version of the RESET test is to be performed. Unless the model to be tested is the binary component of a two-part fractional regression model, a robust version is implemented. This is the default option. {phang} {opt wald} specifies that the Wald version of the RESET test is to be performed. It is implemented taking into account the option chosen for computing standard errors in the model under evaluation. {phang} {opt lr} specifies that the LR version of the RESET test is to be performed. This option is only available for the binary component of a two-part fractional regression model. {phang} {cmd:ml} requests that optimization of the alternative model is carried out using Stata's {cmd:ml} commands and is the default. All {it:maximize_options} are available. Only useful for Wald and LR tests. {phang} {cmd:irls} requests iterated, reweighted least-squares (IRLS) optimization of the deviance of the alternative model. The only available {it:maximize_options} are {opt iterate(#)}, {opt trace} and {opt ltolerance(#)}. Only useful for the Wald test. {marker maximize_options}{...} {phang} {it:maximize_options}: {opt tech:nique(algorithm_spec)}, {opt iter:ate(#)}, {opt tr:ace}, {opt dif:ficult}, {opt grad:ient}, {opt showstep}, {opt hess:ian}, {opt showtol:erance}, {opt tol:erance(#)}, {opt ltol:erance(#)}, {opt nrtol:erance(#)}, {opt nonrtol:erance}, {opt from(init_specs)}; see {manhelp maximize R} for details. {phang} {opt fisher(#)} specifies the number of Newton-Raphson steps that should use the Fisher scoring Hessian or EIM before switching to the observed information matrix (OIM). This option is useful only for Newton-Raphson optimization and can only be used in association with {cmd:ml} and not with {cmd:irls}. Only useful for Wald and LR tests. {phang} {cmd:search} specifies that the command search for good starting values. This option is useful only for Newton-Raphson optimization and can only be used in association with {cmd:ml} and not with {cmd:irls}. Only useful for Wald and LR tests. {title:Examples} {pstd}Setup - data used in Ramalho, Ramalho and Henriques (2010){p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. use http://evunix.uevora.pt/~jsr/stata/JPA-2010.dta}{p_end} {pstd}Testing the logit specification of a standard fractional regression model{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_reset}{p_end} {pstd}Testing probit and cloglog specifications of binary regression models using LR-based RESET tests with quadratic, cubic and fourth powers of the linear predictor{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO, m(2Pbin) linkb(probit) inf(1)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. estimates store a1}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm SCORE LANDLORD LIVESTOCK CROP SIZE SUBSIDIES ALTO CENTRAL BAIXO, m(2Pbin) linkb(cloglog) inf(1)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. estimates store a2}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_reset a1, lr l(4)}{p_end} {phang2}{cmd:. frm_reset a2, lr l(4)}{p_end} {title:Saved results} {pstd} {cmd:frm_reset} saves results of the following type in {cmd:r()}: {synoptset 20 tabbed}{...} {p2col 6 20 24 2: Scalars}{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(LM2)}}LM-based RESET statistic that uses only quadratic powers of the linear predictor as test variable{p_end} {synopt:{cmd:r(LM2p)}}p-value for the statistic {cmd:r(LM2)}{p_end} {p2colreset}{...} {pstd} If {cmd:lastpower({it:#})} is higher than 2, then {cmd:r(LM3)}, {cmd:r(LM3p)}, etc. are also saved.
