Examples

#Easier to use data.frame than timeSeries for this set
data(spdata.df);
#the data being used is spdata.df which has 100 rows and 4 columns: 
#'year', 'rating', 'firms', defaults'
#Must attach MASS and nlme libraries to run mixed effect regression model
library(MASS);
library(nlme);
#Use R- library MASS to get glmmPQL which runs a mixed-effects model. 
#It will measure random effects and fixed effects.
#'year' -'ratings' determine the unique results(20 years 1981-2000 with 5 obligor 
#class ratings each year)
results <- glmmPQL(cbind(defaults,firms-defaults) ~ -1 + rating, 
    random = ~1| year, family=binomial(probit), data=spdata.df);
results;
summary(results);
summary(results)$tTable[,1];
rm(spdata.df);
