+-------------+ ----+ Description +------------------------------------------------------

spmstar estimates Spatial econometric regression (MSTAR) "Multiparametric Spatio Temporal AutoRegressive Regression" for Spatial Lag Cross Sections Models.

spmstar estimates Continuous and Truncated Dependent Variables models tobit.

spmstar deals with data either continuous or truncated dependent variable. If depvar has missing values or lower limits, so in this case spmstar will fit spatial cross section model via tobit model, and thus spmstar can resolve the problem of missing values that exist in many kinds of data. Otherwise, in the case of continuous data, the normal estimation will be used.

spmstar can generate: - Binary / Standardized Weight Matrix. - Inverse / Inverse Squared Standardized Weight Matrix. - Binary / Standardized / Inverse Eigenvalues Variable.

spmstar predicted values are obtained from conditional expectation expression.

Yh = E(y|x) = inv(I-Rho*W) * X*Beta

R2, R2 Adjusted, and F-Test, are obtained from 4 ways: 1- (Buse 1973) R2. 2- Raw Moments R2. 3- squared correlation between predicted (Yh) and observed dependent variable (Y). 4- Ratio of variance between predicted (Yh) and observed dependent variable (Y).

- Adjusted R2: R2_a=1-(1-R2)*(N-1)/(N-K-1). - F-Test=R2/(1-R2)*(N-K-1)/(K).

*** Important Notes: spmstar generates some variables names with prefix: w1x_ , w2x_ , w3x_ , w4x_ , w1y_ , w2y_ , mstar_ , spat_ So, you must avoid to include variables names with thes prefixes

+---------+ ----+ Options +----------------------------------------------------------

wmfile(weight_file) Open CROSS SECTION weight matrix file.

Spatial Cross Sections Weight Matrix file must be: 1- Square Matrix [NxN] 2- Symmetric Matrix (Optional)

Spatial Weight Matrix has two types: Standardized and binary weight matrix.

stand Use Standardized Weight Matrix, (each row sum equals 1) Default is Binary spatial Weight Matrix which each element i > s 0 or 1

inv Use Inverse Standardized Weight Matrix (1/W)

inv2 Use Inverse Squared Standardized Weight Matrix (1/W^2)

spmstar is used with more than Weight Matrix: (Border, Language, Currency, Trade...)

zero convert missing values observations to Zero

nwmat(1,2,3,4) number of Rho's matrixes to be used

coll keep collinear variables; default is removing collinear vari > ables.

noconstant Exclude Constant Term from Equation

nolog suppress iteration of the log likelihood

tobit Estimate model via Tobit regression

ll(#) value of minimum left-censoring dependent variable with: (tobit); default is 0

mfx(lin, log) functional form: Linear model (lin), or Log-Log model (log), to compute Total, Direct, and InDirect Marginal Effects and > Elasticities - In Linear model: marginal effects are the coefficients (Bm), and elasticities are (Es = Bm X/Y). - In Log-Log model: elasticities are the coefficients (Es), and the marginal effects are (Bm = Es Y/X). - mfx(log) and tolog options must be combined, to transform linear variables > to log form.

mfx(lin, log) can calculate: - Total Marginal Effects and Elasticities. - Direct Marginal Effects and Elasticities. - InDirect Marginal Effects and Elasticities.

tolog Convert dependent and independent variables to LOG Form in the memory for Log-Log regression. tolog Transforms depvar and indepvars to Log Form without lost the original data variables

dist(norm, weib) Distribution of error term: 1- dist(norm) Normal distribution; default. 3- dist(weib) Weibull distribution.

dist option is used to remedy non normality problem, when the error term has non normality distribution. dist(weib) can be used.

dist(norm) is the default distribution.

predict(new_variable) Predicted values variable

resid(new_variable) Residuals values variable computed as Ue=Y-Yh

robust Huber-White standard errors

tech(name) technique algorithm for maximization of the log likelihood f > unction LLF tech(nr) Newton-Raphson (NR) algorithm; default tech(bhhh) Berndt-Hall-Hall-Hausman (BHHH) algorithm tech(dfp) Davidon-Fletcher-Powell (DFP) algorithm tech(bfgs) Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) algorithm

iter(#) maximum iterations; default is 100 if iter(#) is reached (100), this means convergence not ach > ieved yet, so you can use another technique algorithm to converge LLF > function or exceed number of maximum iterations more than 100.

vce(vcetype) ols, robust, cluster, bootstrap, jackknife, hc2, hc3

level(#) confidence intervals level; default is level(95)

Other maximization_options allows the user to specify other maximization options (e.g., difficult, trace, iterate(#), etc.). However, you should rarely have to specify them, though they may be helpful if parameters approach boundary values.
