True! Here's my attempt -- use at your own risk. honore <- function (b, dataset, x1, x2) { dxb <- (x2 - x1) %*% b y1 <- # insert your y variable here y2 <- # insert your y variable here sum( (pmax(y1, dxb) - pmax(y2, dxb) - dxb)^2 + 2*(y1 < dxb)*(dxb-y1)*y2 + 2*(y2 < -dxb)* (-dxb-y2)*y1 ) }
fetobit <- function (dataset, form) { x2 <- model.matrix(form, dataset[,T=2]) x1 <- model.matrix(form, dataset[,T=1]) # could maybe set initial values to something different res <- optim(rep(0, ncol(x1)), fn=honore, x1=x1, x2=x2, dataset=dataset, method="BFGS", control=list(maxit=1000)) if (res$convergence != 0) warning("Didn't converge") res$par } For standard errors, bootstrap.
