GME

The GME command implements Generalized Entropy methods.

In general, the format is:

  GME depvar indeps / options

where options as described for OLS:
LININV, LINLOG, LIST, LOGINV, LOGLIN, LOGLOG, NOCONSTANT, PCOV, RSTAT, BEG=, END=, COEF=, COV=, PREDICT=, RESID=, STDERR= and TRATIO=

Options as described for NL are:
CONV=, ITER=, PITER= and START=


The available options are:

Option Description
DEVIATION Variables are converted to deviations from means. This forces the NOCONSTANT option.
LOGEPS= Small constant to avoid numerical underflow.
QPRIOR= Matrix of priors for supports specified in ZENTROPY=.
UPRIOR= Matrix of priors for supports specified in VENTROPY=.
VENTROPY= Matrix of support points for the unknown disturbances.
ZENTROPY= Matrix of support points for the unknown coefficients.
