Argument 'data' could not be evaluated. Problem: object 'data_2' not found.

Hi, Thanks for making your code available. I've run the following fit.pst3<-fixest::feols(data =data_2,fml= formula(paste(update(form,.~.-factor(cc)),"|cc",sep='')),panel.id =c("cc","year")) summary(fit.pst3) fixest::etable(fit.pst3) boot_feols <- fwildclusterboot::boottest(fit.pst3, clustid = "cc", param = "M3_ratedif", B = 9999) and got the error ' Argument 'data' could not be evaluated. Problem: object 'data_2' not found.' data_2 is a data.frame object that is accepted with no issues by feols. Note that I'm calling your function from within another function. Thanks

Gianni

Hi Gianni, thanks for reporting! Which version are you running? This almost certainly is an environment error - basically fwildclusterboot does not find the data because it searches in the wrong env. I have updated this a while back and thought / hoped such errors would no longer occur. If you are not running the most up to date version, could you please reinstall fwildclusterboot and report if the error vanishes? If not, I will start investigating :) As the package is currently not on CRAN (a long story), you can download from r universe (via install.packages('fwildclusterboot', repos ='https://s3alfisc.r-universe.dev')). Best, Alex

Here is a related issue - the discussed error was fixed with version 0.9 =)

Thanks Alex. I've actually installed it today from GitHub (devtools::install_github("s3alfisc/fwildclusterboot")). Should I install it from r-universe instead?. Cheers Gianni

Both should lead to the same outcome =) the advantage of r-universe is that the c++ code is already compiled. Did updating the package fix the error?

[giannilmbd]

No luck. I've re-installed from r-universe but got the same error. Indeed it seems it's looking for the data in the main environment, but the data is available only within the function.

Thanks for reporting. Just as a side comment before I dive into this deeper - it looks like you might be looping over "feols()" for multiple specifications? Have you tried to use fixest's multiple estimation functionality? That should be well supported by fwildclusterboot, see the news log for version 0.9 (I should probably add this to the main vignette). Beyond, I hope I'll find time to take a closer look at this tomorrow =)

[giannilmbd]

Great, thanks! I’ll give a try to the multiple specifications.

Hi @giannilmbd , is this still relevant? If not, I'd like to close the issue :) Best, Alex

[giannilmbd]

Thanks Alex, Not relevant right now. I think you can close the issue. Thanks for asking Gianni
