Anson T.Y. Ho, Kim P. Huynh, and David T. Jacho-Chavez, "crs: A Package for Nonparametric Splines Estimation in R", Journal of Applied Econometrics, Vol. 29, No. 2, 2014, pp. 348-352. There are two zip files. The file crs-code.zip contains the R code files, which are ASCII files in DOS format. Unix/Linux users should use "unzip -a". The file crs-data.zip contains R data files, which are binary files as well as their ASCII counterparts. The "-a" option should *not* be used when unzipping this file. ########## ## Data ## ########## o Files: simulx1.Rdata Format: R Data Objects Info: x1 takes values {"1","2","3","4","5"}. They contain all recorded Root Average Squared Error (RASE) and execution times used in the numerical example in the paper in the form of two n1 x n2 x n3 x n4 arrays called "rase" and "tiempo" respectively. n1 = 20 is the number of Monte Carlo replications. n2 = 2 is the RASE (in array "rase") and the time that command 'system.time' generates (in array "tiempo") when using 'npreg' {first column} and 'crs' {second column}. n3 = 20 is the twenty different sample sizes that are considered. n4=2 is the two possible error variances. o Files: simulx1_x2.txt Format: ASCII file Info: x1 takes values {"1","2","3","4","5"}, and x2 takes values {"rase","tiempo"}. They are the ASCII version of the n1 x n2 x n3 x n4 arrays called "rase" and "tiempo" in the "simulx1.Rdata" files above. Note: No other data are used ############## ## Software ## ############## o Files: simulx1.R Format: R transcript (source code with comments) Application: Monte Carlo calculations. Info: x1 takes values {"1","2","3","4","5"}. The code executes all the Monte Carlo experiments in the paper. o Files: graph.R Format: R transcript (source code with comments) Application: Drawing of figure. Info: This R transcript loads "simulx1.Rdata" files above (where x1 takes values {"1","2","3","4","5"}) and draws Figure 1 in the main text. o The software packages used to obtain the results were: - R system for statistical computing, version 2.14.1 http://CRAN.R-project.org/ - np 0.50-1 http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=np - crs 0.15-18 http://CRAN.R-project.org/package=crs
