rats 9.0 includes example programs for the worked examples from more than a twenty popular textbooks.
Assuming you have done a standard installation of the program, your main rats directory will include a sub-
directory entitled TextbookExamples.
Within that directory, youll find additional subdirectories for each textbook, based on the name of the author(s).
For example, the directory greene contains the examples for Econometric Analysis, by William H. Greene.
Note that we use hyphens as separators in directory names for books with multiple authors (for example,
johnston-dinardo), and underscores for some directory names that include additional descriptive information
(wooldridge_cross_section).
The names of the individual program files begin with a prefix based on the authors name. For most books,
this is followed by an indication of the page number where the example begins. For example, the program
grnp055.rpf refers to the example in the Greene book which begins on page 55. In most cases, the data files
required to run the programs are also supplied.
Examples are included for the following textbooks.
