Missing statistics with errorsarlm(method="SparseM")

2 messages · Martin Reismann, Roger Bivand

#
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

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.
