gbnlpanel(1) Non-linear panel regression

SYNOPSIS

gbnlpanel [options] <FUN>

DESCRIPTION

Each row of a block represents a single process realization. Blocks are separated by two white spaces and represent model variables, columns represent the time variable. Input is read as (X1_[r,t],...,Xj_[r,t],... XN_[r,t]), where r is the row, t the column and j the block. The model assumes that

FUN(X1_[r,t],...,XN_[t,t]) - c_r = e_{r,t}

with e i.i.d and 'c' arow specific element, which can be fixed (fixed effect) or a normal random variable (random effect).
