'''Generalized Method of Moments, GMM, and Two-Stage Least Squares for
instrumental variables IV2SLS
Issues
------
* number of parameters, nparams, and starting values for parameters
Where to put them? start was initially taken from global scope (bug)
* When optimal weighting matrix cannot be calculated numerically
In DistQuantilesGMM, we only have one row of moment conditions, not a
moment condition for each observation, calculation for cov of moments
breaks down. iter=1 works (weights is identity matrix)
-> need method to do one iteration with an identity matrix or an
analytical weighting matrix given as parameter.
-> add result statistics for this case, e.g. cov_params, I have it in the
standalone function (and in calc_covparams which is a copy of it),
but not tested yet.
DONE `fitonce` in DistQuantilesGMM, params are the same as in direct call to fitgmm
move it to GMM class (once it's clearer for which cases I need this.)
* GMM doesn't know anything about the underlying model, e.g. y = X beta + u or panel
data model. It would be good if we can reuse methods from regressions, e.g.
predict, fitted values, calculating the error term, and some result statistics.
What's the best way to do this, multiple inheritance, outsourcing the functions,
mixins or delegation (a model creates a GMM instance just for estimation).
Unclear
-------
* dof in Hausman
- based on rank
- differs between IV2SLS method and function used with GMM or (IV2SLS)
- with GMM, covariance matrix difference has negative eigenvalues in iv example, ???
* jtest/jval
- I'm not sure about the normalization (multiply or divide by nobs) in jtest.
need a test case. Scaling of jval is irrelevant for estimation.
jval in jtest looks to large in example, but I have no idea about the size
* bse for fitonce look too large (no time for checking now)
formula for calc_cov_params for the case without optimal weighting matrix
is wrong. I don't have an estimate for omega in that case. And I'm confusing
between weights and omega, which are *not* the same in this case.

Options for GMM
---------------
Type of GMM
~~~~~~~~~~~
- one-step
- iterated
- CUE : not tested yet
weight matrix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- `weights_method` : string, defines method for robust
Options here are similar to :mod:`statsmodels.stats.robust_covariance`
default is heteroscedasticity consistent, HC0
currently available methods are
- `cov` : HC0, optionally with degrees of freedom correction
- `hac` :
- `iid` : untested, only for Z*u case, IV cases with u as error indep of Z
- `ac` : not available yet
- `cluster` : not connected yet
- others from robust_covariance
other arguments:
- `wargs` : tuple or dict, required arguments for weights_method
- `centered` : bool,
indicates whether moments are centered for the calculation of the weights
and covariance matrix, applies to all weight_methods
- `ddof` : int
degrees of freedom correction, applies currently only to `cov`
- maxlag : int
number of lags to include in HAC calculation , applies only to `hac`
- others not yet, e.g. groups for cluster robust
covariance matrix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The same options as for weight matrix also apply to the calculation of the
estimate of the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates.
The additional option is
- `has_optimal_weights`: If true, then the calculation of the covariance
matrix assumes that we have optimal GMM with :math:`W = S^{-1}`.
Default is True.

instrument : array
array of instruments, see notes
nmoms : None or int
number of moment conditions, if None then it is set equal to the

Estimate parameters using GMM and return GMMResults
TODO: weight and covariance arguments still need to be made consistent
with similar options in other models,
see RegressionResult.get_robustcov_results
Parameters
----------
start_params : array (optional)
starting value for parameters ub minimization. If None then
fitstart method is called for the starting values.
maxiter : int or 'cue'
Number of iterations in iterated GMM. The onestep estimate can be
obtained with maxiter=0 or 1. If maxiter is large, then the
iteration will stop either at maxiter or on convergence of the
parameters (TODO: no options for convergence criteria yet.)
If `maxiter == 'cue'`, the the continuously updated GMM is
calculated which updates the weight matrix during the minimization
of the GMM objective function. The CUE estimation uses the onestep
parameters as starting values.
inv_weights : None or ndarray
inverse of the starting weighting matrix. If inv_weights are not
given then the method `start_weights` is used which depends on
the subclass, for IV subclasses `inv_weights = z'z` where `z` are
the instruments, otherwise an identity matrix is used.
weights_method : string, defines method for robust
Options here are similar to :mod:`statsmodels.stats.robust_covariance`
default is heteroscedasticity consistent, HC0
currently available methods are
- `cov` : HC0, optionally with degrees of freedom correction
- `hac` :
- `iid` : untested, only for Z*u case, IV cases with u as error indep of Z
- `ac` : not available yet
- `cluster` : not connected yet
- others from robust_covariance
wargs` : tuple or dict,
required and optional arguments for weights_method
- `centered` : bool,
indicates whether moments are centered for the calculation of the weights
and covariance matrix, applies to all weight_methods
- `ddof` : int
degrees of freedom correction, applies currently only to `cov`
- `maxlag` : int
number of lags to include in HAC calculation , applies only to `hac`
- others not yet, e.g. groups for cluster robust
has_optimal_weights: If true, then the calculation of the covariance
matrix assumes that we have optimal GMM with :math:`W = S^{-1}`.
Default is True.
TODO: do we want to have a different default after `onestep`?
optim_method : string, default is 'bfgs'
numerical optimization method. Currently not all optimizers that
are available in LikelihoodModels are connected.
optim_args : dict
keyword arguments for the numerical optimizer.
Returns
-------
results : instance of GMMResults
this is also attached as attribute results
Notes
-----
Warning: One-step estimation, `maxiter` either 0 or 1, still has
problems (at least compared to Stata's gmm).
By default it uses a heteroscedasticity robust covariance matrix, but
uses the assumption that the weight matrix is optimal.
See options for cov_params in the results instance.
The same options as for weight matrix also apply to the calculation of
the estimate of the covariance matrix of the parameter estimates.
