[R] Cragg-Donald Wald F statistic (weak instruments)

[Daniel Malter]

The test statistic above does not reproduce Stata results when there is more
than one endogenous variable. While the code to compute the test statistic
appears to be correct, the difference may lie in Stata computing the test
statistic based on canonical correlations rather than the formula in Stock
and Yogo (2005).
