Dears,

I developed the cnumber function initially to facilitate my econometrics classes at UFG-Brazil. It really is simple and to undergraduate classes. The package, I believe, has the same functionality that the coldiag command in stata software.


Thanks for the feedback and I'm sorry for my simple English.

OK.  I've looked at cnumber and though correctly executed, it is too limited in my opinion.  It only produces the single largest condition number (no variance decomposition) for a linear model.  Proper diagnostics for collinearity may involve the others as well. 

My other complaint is trivial: the included example excludes the intercept as a regressor.  As BKW argue, and Hill and Adkins (2001) agree (shameless plug), the intercept should ordinarily be included if the model is estimated with one .  When the intercept is included in cnumber the computations are correct.  So the function is doing what it is supposed to do, 

The proposed bkw.gfn function produces the whole set of condition numbers  and the BKW variance decompositions --without centering-- for any estimated model (linear or nonlinear) for which gretl returns a variance covariance.

I've got mine packaged, but haven't looked at cnumber yet and was reluctant to submit mine until I did.  Will do so tomorrow.... Thanks, Sven.....

Please give some feedback on whether this hunch of mine is correct. Lee,
are you planning to package your stuff and would it be a substitute
(superset in some sense) of this functionality?

Thanks,
sven
