Are you using a svy estimator or did you specify the vce(cluster clustvar) opti
> on?
The VCE you have just estimated is not of sufficient rank to perform the
model test. As discussed in [R] test, the model test with clustered or
survey data is distributed as F(k,d-k+1) or chi2(k), where k is the
number of constraints and d=number of clusters or d=number of PSUs minus
the number of strata. Because the rank of the VCE is at most d and the
model test reserves 1 degree of freedom for the constant, at most d-1
constraints can be tested, so k must be less than d. The model that you
just fit does not meet this requirement.
如果使用聚类稳健方差检验,限制条件k应该小于等于聚类的个数d。所以,要么删掉一些自变量,要么增加聚类的数目。
不知我理解得对不对?希望得到指教。
但是楼主的聚类是16,而Wald(12)无法显示,好像还不是这个原因,那么会不会是:
Is there a regressor that is nonzero for only 1 observation or for one cluster?
The VCE you have just estimated is not of sufficient rank to perform the
model test. This can happen if there is a variable in your model that is
nonzero for only 1 observation in the estimation sample. Likewise, it
can happen if a variable is nonzero for only one cluster when using the
cluster-robust VCE. In such cases the derivative of the sum-of-squares
or likelihood function with respect to that variable's parameter is zero
for all observations. That implies that the outer-product-of-gradients
(OPG) variance matrix is singular. Because the OPG variance matrix is
used in computing the robust variance matrix, the latter is therefore
singular as well.
都是stata自带的解释哈。照抄照学的,嘿嘿。
