statsmodels.sandbox.regression.gmm.LinearIVGMM

class statsmodels.sandbox.regression.gmm.LinearIVGMM(endog, exog, instrument, k_moms=None, k_params=None, missing='none', **kwds) [source]

class for linear instrumental variables models estimated with GMM

Uses closed form expression instead of nonlinear optimizers for each step of the iterative GMM.

The model is assumed to have the following moment condition

E( z * (y - x beta)) = 0

Where y is the dependent endogenous variable, x are the explanatory variables and z are the instruments. Variables in x that are exogenous need also be included in z.

Notation Warning: our name exog stands for the explanatory variables, and includes both exogenous and explanatory variables that are endogenous, i.e. included endogenous variables

Parameters:	endog (array_like) – dependent endogenous variable exog (array_like) – explanatory, right hand side variables, including explanatory variables that are endogenous instrument (array_like) – Instrumental variables, variables that are exogenous to the error in the linear model containing both included and excluded exogenous variables
