linearmodels.system.gmm.HomoskedasticWeightMatrix¶

class linearmodels.system.gmm.HomoskedasticWeightMatrix(center: bool = False, debiased: bool = False)[source]¶

Homoskedastic (unadjusted) weight estimation

Parameters:¶

center: bool = False¶

Flag indicating whether to center the moment conditions by subtracting the mean before computing the weight matrix.

debiased: bool = False¶

Flag indicating whether to use small-sample adjustments

Notes

The weight matrix estimator is

\[Z'(\Sigma \otimes I_N)Z\]

where \(Z\) is a block diagonal matrix containing both the exogenous regressors and instruments and \(\Sigma\) is the covariance of the model residuals.

center has no effect on this estimator since it is always centered.

Methods

sigma(eps, x)	Estimate residual covariance.
weight_matrix(x, z, eps, *, sigma)	Construct a GMM weight matrix for a model.
