Econometric Computing with R
|
Many econometric software packages are not suitable for teaching the
elements of statistical/econometric computing. E.g., many offer only
one method of matrix inversion. Yet traditional computer programming
languages, e.g., Fortran, have too much overhead to be useful to
econometrics students. We argue that R is an excellent choice for
teaching the fundamentals of econometrics computing, and give several
examples where R is better than traditional econometrics packages. |
