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

xtregam estimates Amemiya Random-Effects Panel Data with Ridge and Weighted Regression, and calculate Panel Heteroscedasticity, Model Selection Diagnostic Criteria, and Marginal Effects and Elasticities

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).

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

* id(var) Cross Sections ID variable name * it(var) Time Series ID variable name

+---------------+ ----+ Ridge Options +----------------------------------------------------

kr(#) Ridge k value, must be in the range (0 < k < 1).

IF kr(0) in ridge(orr, grr1, grr2, grr3), the model will be normal panel regression.

ridge(orr) : Ordinary Ridge Regression [Judge,et al(1988,p.878) eq.21.4.2] > . ridge(grr1): Generalized Ridge Regression [Judge,et al(1988,p.881) eq.21.4.12 > ]. ridge(grr2): Iterative Generalized Ridge [Judge,et al(1988,p.881) eq.21.4.12 > ]. ridge(grr3): Adaptive Generalized Ridge [Strawderman(1978)].

xtregam estimates Ordinary Ridge regression as a multicollinearity remediation method. General form of Ridge Coefficients and Covariance Matrix are:

Br = inv[X'X + kI] X'Y

Cov=Sig^2 * inv[X'X + kI] (X'X) inv[X'X + kI]

where: Br = Ridge Coefficients Vector (k x 1). Cov = Ridge Covariance Matrix (k x k). Y = Dependent Variable Vector (N x 1). X = Independent Variables Matrix (N x k). k = Ridge Value (0 < k < 1). I = Diagonal Matrix of Cross Product Matrix (Xs'Xs). Xs = Standardized Variables Matrix in Deviation from Mean. Sig2 = (Y-X*Br)'(Y-X*Br)/DF

+----------------+ ----+ Weight Options +---------------------------------------------------

wvar(varname) Weighted Variable Name

xtregam not like official Stata command xtreg in weight option, xtregam can use large types of weighted regression options. wvar( ) must be combined with: weights(x, xi, x2, xi2)"

+--------------------------------+ ----+ Weighted Variable Type Options +-----------------------------------

weights(yh) Yh - Predicted Value weights(yh2) Yh^2 - Predicted Value Squared weights(abse) abs(E) - Absolute Value of Residual weights(e2) E^2 - Residual Squared weights(le2) log(E^2) - Log Residual Squared weights(x) (x) Variable weights(xi) (1/x) Inverse Variable weights(x2) (x^2) Squared Variable weights(xi2) (1/x^2) Inverse Squared Variable

+---------------+ ----+ Other Options +----------------------------------------------------

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

noconstant Exclude Constant Term from Equation

xtregam not like official Stata command xtreg in constant te > rm option, xtregam can exclude constant term. weights option also can be used here.

dn Use (N) divisor instead of (N-K) for Degrees of Freedom (DF)

iter(#) number of iterations; Default is iter(100)

level(#) confidence intervals level. Default is level(95)

mfx(lin, log) functional form: Linear model (lin), or Log-Log model (log), to compute 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.

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

predict(new_variable) Predicted values variable

resid(new_variable) Residuals values variable computed as Ue=Y-Yh ; that is known as combined residual: [Ue = > U_i + E_it] overall error component is computed as: [E_it] see: xtreg postestimation##predict
