xtthres is for use with panel data. You must tsset your data before using xtthres; see help
tsset xt.
xtthres shares the features of all estimation commands; see help estcom.
Description
xtthres fits static panel threshold model with fixed effects, which is first developed by
B.E.,Hansen (1999).
After estimating the model using xtthres, you can use xttr_graph to draw graphs for each
model so as to see the construction of confidence intervials of r_hat.
Options
thres(varname) specifies threshold variable, as denoted by q_it in Hansen(1999). Note that
this option should not be omitted.
dthres(varname) specifies the variable that will show threshold effects, as denoted by x_it
in Hansen(1999). This variable will be multipled by the indicator function I(.). Note
that this option should not be omitted either.
qn(#) specifies the number of distinct values to be search in finding out the optimal
estimate of threshold effects, r_hat, which will minimize the sum of square residuals of
the model. The default value is 400.
bs1(#), bs2(#), bs3(#) specify the Bootstrap times in single threshold, double threshold and
triple threshold model respectively. The default values are all 300.
level(#) specifies the confidence level, in percent, for confidence intervals. The default
is level(95) or as set by set level; see help level.
minobs specifies the minimum number of observations in each of the regimes when searching for
r_hats. The default is 10.
