When using errorsarlm with method="SparseM" I encountered that "Asymptotic standard error" and "Wald statistic" are missing in the summary. Both are available with errorsarlm method="eigen". Any suggestions? Best wishes, Martin Reismann --- Martin Reismann Institut fuer Wirtschaftsgeographie und Geoinformatik Wirtschaftsuniversitaet Wien Nordbergstrasse 15, 4.

The "SparseM" method is used for large n, when operations on a full matrix would tax your computer. Computing the information matrix means inverting an n by n matrix, so statistics relying on the information matrix are not available with this method. If you must have them for large n, you need more RAM and possibly a 64 bit box, but in practice if you have many n, the likelihood ratio will tell you what you need to know anyway.
