You're right David, I'm really sorry. I deactivated html, hope now it works.

I have a problem with the variance estimation in a random effect model
I used this formula to get my result, and it works:
> reg <- deltaF ~ L1.deltaF + L2.deltaF + deltaCDS + L1.deltaCDS + L2.deltaCDS
> + L3.deltaCDS + deltaUS_Yields + deltaZ + L1.deltaZ.
> fixed <- plm(reg, data=Mody_R, na.action = na.exclude, index=c("country_id",
> "datestata"), model="random").
but when i split my dataframe into several groups it gives me this error:
> "Error in swar(object, data, effect) : the estimated variance of the
> individual effect is negative"
The code i used to split the dataframe is:
> SplitMody <- split(Mody_R, Mody_R$period).
> SplitFixed <- lapply(SplitMody, function(Mody_R) plm(reg, data=Mody_R,
> na.action = na.exclude, index=c("country_id", "datestata"), model="random")).
I want to point the all the code works perfectly in a within model, and I tried
using all the random.method for the variance estimation.
In addition I used the same random effect model in Stata and it works... (and
for the within model the results are identical in R and Stata)
I'll be really gratefull if someone can help me.
Thanks,
Matteo
