Two quick thoughts that might save you a little time.
First, if you're at the exploratory stage, depending on the specification
it might be enough for your purposes to use the full set of regressors in
both of the two regime equations. Say that regime one has regressor x1 and
regime two has regressor x2. Under the null, x2 doesn't belong in regime
one and hence should be insignificant, and visa-versa with regime two and
x1. Including x1 and x2 in both regime one and regime two may still yield
consistent estimates of the coefficients that you care about (x1 in regime
one and x2 in regime two).
Second, and a bit obvious but worth pointing out anyway - you might find it
easier to modify Fred Zimmerman's -switchr- code than to program your own
version from scratch.
Cheers,
Mark
