REndo on RStudio

[Peppe]

Hello,

I am trying to run REndo but I get this error

Error: unexpected symbol in:
"m4.cc <- copulaCorrection(LEXP ~ MACHF + MODa | continuous(MACHF), data = df, optimx.args = list(method=c("Nelder-Mead"),itmax= 60000, num.boots= 10000, verbose = FALSE)
fit2"

can anyone help, please?

Error: unexpected symbol in:

m4.cc <- copulaCorrection(LEXP ~ MACHF + MODa | continuous(MACHF), 
   data = df, 
   optimx.args = list(method=c("Nelder-Mead"),
   itmax= 60000, 
   num.boots= 10000, 
   verbose = FALSE)
fit2

This error usually means there is some sort of typo.
However, I don't think the the information above is enough to diagnose the problem.

At a bare minimum, I don't think arguments like num.boots belong in the optimx.args list. At least that's not how the documentation examples for copulaCorrection are run.

If you're able to repose this question with a reprex that replicates the error, it'd be much easier for folks to help out.

On errors related to messages like "unexpected X in:", I really like the community wiki answer to a related discussion here:

Error: unexpected symbol/input/string constant/numeric constant/SPECIAL in my code

The code as shared has 4 opening brackets, but only 3 closing brackets.
probably you need a bracket close between FALSE) and fit2

Thank you for your help

Hello all,

I am trying to correct for endogeneity using Gaussian Copula. The model has 1 continuous endogenous regressor (i.e., MACHF) , one dependent variable (i.e., LEXP), and one control variable (i.e., COLLHIST). I first ran a MULTIPLE REGRESSION . The model runs well and there is no error. Following this step, I am trying to correct for endogeneity using Gaussian Copula in REndo using RStudio. I followed the steps suggested by Raluca Gui , but I get the below errors

cc <- copulaCorrection(LEXP ~ MACHF + COLLHIST + P.Star.MACHF | continuous(MACHF), data= df, optimx.args = list(method=c("Nelder-Mead"),itmax = 60000), num.boots= 10000, verbose = TRUE)
Please provide a data object that contains all the formula's variables.
Error: The above errors were encountered!

Am I missing a step? Do I need to generate the copula, based on the error message "Please provide a data object that contains all the formula's variables". If this is the case, how can I do that?

Please help!

Please provide a data object that contains all the formula's variables.

Again, a reprex would be helpful with minimal data, because we are now left to guess based on the error message.

The error message seems self explanatory? The formula, LEXP ~ MACHF + COLLHIST + P.Star.MACHF | continuous(MACHF), refers to one or more regressors that are not in your data, df.
