[R] Simultaneous equation with one ordinal reponses

[Bill.Venables at csiro.au]

R packages do not solve modelling problems.  They can be used to solve computational problems.

Wouldn't it be a better plan to sort out what kind of models you want to investigate to address your research questions first?  Then, and only then, can you sensibly look around for packages that might help with the computational problems you have identified.

Subject: [R] Simultaneous equation with one ordinal reponses

Dear R users,

 

I had a research question which involves a simultaneous equation system, one
is the common continuous dependent variable, y1, say wage, or log wage,
another one is a latent variable, y*, which I only observe up to a ordinal
scale, say attitudes toward a problem, taking values as y2= 1, 2, 3 or 4.
Both of them have other exogeneious variables. I have been search on
internet for quite a while trying to locate a package in R that can do the
job. I am wondering whether anyone can help me and provide some info about
what package can be used to solve this problem? Thanks so much.

 

 

Best,

 

Jason ZHENG
