'''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.
