options Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model * het(varlist[...]) independent variables to model the variance and possible offset variable noconstant suppress constant term offset(varname) include varname in model with coefficient constrained to 1 asis retain perfect predictor variables constraints(constraints) apply specified linear constraints collinear keep collinear variables

SE/Robust vce(vcetype) vcetype may be oim, robust, cluster clustvar, opg, bootstrap, or jackknife

Reporting level(#) set confidence level; default is level(95) noskip perform likelihood-ratio test nolrtest perform Wald test on variance nocnsreport do not display constraints display_options control spacing and display of omitted variables and base and empty cells

Maximization maximize_options control the maximization process; seldom used

+ coeflegend display coefficients' legend instead of coefficient table ------------------------------------------------------------------------- * het() is required. The full specification is het(varlist [, offset(varname)]) + coeflegend does not appear in the dialog box. INCLUDE help fvvarlist2 depvar, indepvars, and varlist may contain time-series operators; see tsvarlist. bootstrap, by, jackknife, rolling, statsby, and svy are allowed; see prefix. Weights are not allowed with the bootstrap prefix. vce(), noskip, and weights are not allowed with the svy prefix. fweights, iweights, and pweights are allowed; see weight.

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

tobithetm fits a maximum-likelihood for Tobit Multiplicative Heteroscedasticity Regression.

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

+-------+ ----+ Model +------------------------------------------------------------

het(varlist [, offset(varname)]) specifies the independent variables and the offset variable, if there is one, in the variance function. het() is required.

noconstant, offset(varname); see [R] estimation options.

asis forces the retention of perfect predictor variables and their associated perfectly predicted observations and may produce instabilities in maximization; see [R] tobit.

constraints(constraints), collinear; see [R] estimation options.

+-----------+ ----+ SE/Robust +--------------------------------------------------------

INCLUDE help vce_asymptall

+-----------+ ----+ Reporting +--------------------------------------------------------

level(#); see [R] estimation options.

noskip requests fitting of the constant-only model and calculation of the corresponding likelihood-ratio chi-squared statistic for testing significance of the full model. By default, a Wald chi-squared statistic is computed for testing the significance of the full model.

nolrtest specifies that a Wald test of whether lnsigma2 = 0 be performed instead of the LR test.

nocnsreport; see [R] estimation options.

display_options: noomitted, vsquish, noemptycells, baselevels, allbaselevels; see [R] estimation options.

+--------------+ ----+ Maximization +-----------------------------------------------------

maximize_options: difficult, technique(algorithm_spec), iterate(#), [no]log, trace, gradient, showstep, hessian, showtolerance, tolerance(#), ltolerance(#), nrtolerance(#), nonrtolerance, from(init_specs); see [R] maximize. These options are seldom used.

Setting the optimization type to technique(bhhh) resets the default vcetype to vce(opg).

The following option is available with tobithetm but is not shown in the dialog box:

coeflegend; see [R] estimation options.
