Generalized method of moments Method of moments (statistics)
Package gmm implements the generalized method of moment and the generalized empirical likelihood.
First, it is possible to estimate a simple linear model or a simple linear model with instrumental variables using the gmm() function. The GMM method is often used to estimate heteroskedastic instrumental variable models.
> # Simple linear model
> N <- 1000
> u <- rnorm(N)
> x <- 1 + rnorm(N)
> y <- 1 + x + u
> res <- gmm(y ~ x, x)
> # Simple linear model with instrumental variables.
