Examples

## data and trend as used by Greene (2003)
data("USMacroG")
ltrend <- 1:nrow(USMacroG) - 1

## Example 6.1
## Table 6.1
library("dynlm")
fm6.1 <- dynlm(log(invest) ~ tbill + inflation + log(gdp) + ltrend, data = USMacroG)
fm6.3 <- dynlm(log(invest) ~ I(tbill - inflation) + log(gdp) + ltrend, data = USMacroG)
summary(fm6.1)
summary(fm6.3)
deviance(fm6.1)
deviance(fm6.3)
vcov(fm6.1)[2,3] 

## F test
linearHypothesis(fm6.1, "tbill + inflation = 0")
## alternatively
anova(fm6.1, fm6.3)
## t statistic
sqrt(anova(fm6.1, fm6.3)[2,5])
 
## Example 8.2
## Ct = b0 + b1*Yt + b2*Y(t-1) + v
fm1 <- dynlm(consumption ~ dpi + L(dpi), data = USMacroG)
## Ct = a0 + a1*Yt + a2*C(t-1) + u
fm2 <- dynlm(consumption ~ dpi + L(consumption), data = USMacroG)

## Cox test in both directions:
coxtest(fm1, fm2)
## ...and do the same for jtest() and encomptest().
## Notice that in this particular case two of them are coincident.
jtest(fm1, fm2)
encomptest(fm1, fm2)
## encomptest could also be performed `by hand' via
fmE <- dynlm(consumption ~ dpi + L(dpi) + L(consumption), data = USMacroG)
waldtest(fm1, fmE, fm2)
