[R] NLS and IV

[Spencer Graves]

      RSiteSearch("grogger") produced nothing, which suggests that the 
paper you cite is NOT cited in a help page in any package contributed to 
CRAN.  However, RSiteSearch("instrumental variables") just produced 31 
hits for me, among which #11 was for "systemfit{systemfit}", which 
mentions "instrumental variables" and "probits".  I also got 6 hits for 
RSiteSearch("exogeneity") and 6 for RSiteSearch("endogeneity").  You 
might also check the 'sem' package. 

      If you don't find anything that does exactly what you want, I 
doubt if it would be too difficult to program it from scratch using 
something like "optim" if you couldn't find anything better using 
RSiteSearch or similar tools. 

      If you would like further help from this listserve, please submit 
another post.  In doing so, I suggest you include commented, minimal, 
self-contained, reproducible code illustrating something you've tried, 
as suggested in the final two lines of this email.  Substantial 
anecdotal evidence suggests that posts that conform more closely to the 
style describe in the posting guide 
"www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html" (which recommends including 
commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code)  tend to get 
better answers to their questions quicker than other posts. 

      Hope this helps.
