Book Synopsis Nonparametric Estimation of the Random Coefficients Model by : Florian Heiss

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates and extends the computationally attractive nonparametric random coefficients estimator of Fox, Kim, Ryan, and Bajari (2011). We show that their estimator is a special case of the nonnegative LASSO, explaining its sparse nature observed in many applications. Recognizing this link, we extend the estimator, transforming it to a special case of the nonnegative elastic net. The extension improves the estimator's recovery of the true support and allows for more accurate estimates of the random coefficients' distribution. Our estimator is a generalization of the original estimator and therefore, is guaranteed to have a model fit at least as good as the original one. A theoretical analysis of both estimators' properties shows that, under conditions, our generalized estimator approximates the true distribution more accurately. Two Monte Carlo experiments and an application to a travel mode data set illustrate the improved performance of the generalized estimator.

Book Synopsis Semi-Nonparametric Estimation of Random Coefficient Logit Model for Aggregate Demand by : Zhentong Lu
Download or read book Semi-Nonparametric Estimation of Random Coefficient Logit Model for Aggregate Demand written by Zhentong Lu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we propose a two-step semi-nonparametric estimator for the widely used random coefficient logit demand model. In the first step, exploiting the structure of logit choice probabilities, we transform the full demand system into a partial linear model and estimate the fixed (non-random) coefficients using standard linear sieve generalized method of moment (GMM). In the second step, we construct a sieve minimum distance (MD) estimator to uncover the distribution of random coefficients nonparametrically. We establish the asymptotic properties of the estimator and show the semi-nonparametric identification of the model in a large market environment. Monte Carlo simulations and empirical illustrations support the theoretical results and demonstrate the usefulness of our estimator in practice.
Book Synopsis Identification and Estimation of 'irregular' Correlated Random Coefficient Models by : Bryan S. Graham
Download or read book Identification and Estimation of 'irregular' Correlated Random Coefficient Models written by Bryan S. Graham and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we study identification and estimation of the causal effect of a small change in an endogenous regressor on a continuously-valued outcome of interest using panel data. We focus on the average partial effect (APE) over the full population distribution of unobserved heterogeneity (e.g., Chamberlain, 1984; Blundell and Powell, 2003; Wooldridge, 2005a). In our basic model the outcome of interest varies linearly with a (scalar) regressor, but with an intercept and slope coefficient that may vary across units and over time in a way which depends on the regressor. This model is a special case of Chamberlain's (1980b, 1982, 1992a) correlated random coefficients (CRC) model, but not does not satisfy the regularity conditions he imposes. Irregularity, while precluding estimation at parametric rates, does not result in a loss of identification under mild smoothness conditions. We show how two measures of the outcome and regressor for each unit are sufficient for identification of the APE as well as aggregate time trends. We identify aggregate trends using units with a zero first difference in the regressor or, in the language of Chamberlain (1980b, 1982), 'stayers' and the average partial effect using units with non-zero first differences or 'movers'. We discuss extensions of our approach to models with multiple regressors and more than two time periods. We use our methods to estimate the average elasticity of calorie consumption with respect to total outlay for a sample of poor Nicaraguan households (cf., Strauss and Thomas, 1995; Subramanian and Deaton, 1996). Our CRC average elasticity estimate declines with total outlay more sharply than its parametric counterpart.
Book Synopsis Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation by : Sam Efromovich
Download or read book Missing and Modified Data in Nonparametric Estimation written by Sam Efromovich and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic and unified approach for modern nonparametric treatment of missing and modified data via examples of density and hazard rate estimation, nonparametric regression, filtering signals, and time series analysis. All basic types of missing at random and not at random, biasing, truncation, censoring, and measurement errors are discussed, and their treatment is explained. Ten chapters of the book cover basic cases of direct data, biased data, nondestructive and destructive missing, survival data modified by truncation and censoring, missing survival data, stationary and nonstationary time series and processes, and ill-posed modifications. The coverage is suitable for self-study or a one-semester course for graduate students with a prerequisite of a standard course in introductory probability. Exercises of various levels of difficulty will be helpful for the instructor and self-study. The book is primarily about practically important small samples. It explains when consistent estimation is possible, and why in some cases missing data should be ignored and why others must be considered. If missing or data modification makes consistent estimation impossible, then the author explains what type of action is needed to restore the lost information. The book contains more than a hundred figures with simulated data that explain virtually every setting, claim, and development. The companion R software package allows the reader to verify, reproduce and modify every simulation and used estimators. This makes the material fully transparent and allows one to study it interactively. Sam Efromovich is the Endowed Professor of Mathematical Sciences and the Head of the Actuarial Program at the University of Texas at Dallas. He is well known for his work on the theory and application of nonparametric curve estimation and is the author of Nonparametric Curve Estimation: Methods, Theory, and Applications. Professor Sam Efromovich is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association.

Book Synopsis Semiparametric and Nonparametric Econometrics by : Aman Ullah
Download or read book Semiparametric and Nonparametric Econometrics written by Aman Ullah and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades much research in empirical and theoretical economics has been carried on under various assumptions. For example a parametric functional form of the regression model, the heteroskedasticity, and the autocorrelation is always as sumed, usually linear. Also, the errors are assumed to follow certain parametric distri butions, often normal. A disadvantage of parametric econometrics based on these assumptions is that it may not be robust to the slight data inconsistency with the particular parametric specification. Indeed any misspecification in the functional form may lead to erroneous conclusions. In view of these problems, recently there has been significant interest in 'the semiparametric/nonparametric approaches to econometrics. The semiparametric approach considers econometric models where one component has a parametric and the other, which is unknown, a nonparametric specification (Manski 1984 and Horowitz and Neumann 1987, among others). The purely non parametric approach, on the other hand, does not specify any component of the model a priori. The main ingredient of this approach is the data based estimation of the unknown joint density due to Rosenblatt (1956). Since then, especially in the last decade, a vast amount of literature has appeared on nonparametric estimation in statistics journals. However, this literature is mostly highly technical and this may partly be the reason why very little is known about it in econometrics, although see Bierens (1987) and Ullah (1988).

Book Synopsis Recent Advances and Trends in Nonparametric Statistics by : M.G. Akritas
Download or read book Recent Advances and Trends in Nonparametric Statistics written by M.G. Akritas and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-10-31 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of high-speed, affordable computers in the last two decades has given a new boost to the nonparametric way of thinking. Classical nonparametric procedures, such as function smoothing, suddenly lost their abstract flavour as they became practically implementable. In addition, many previously unthinkable possibilities became mainstream; prime examples include the bootstrap and resampling methods, wavelets and nonlinear smoothers, graphical methods, data mining, bioinformatics, as well as the more recent algorithmic approaches such as bagging and boosting. This volume is a collection of short articles - most of which having a review component - describing the state-of-the art of Nonparametric Statistics at the beginning of a new millennium. Key features: . algorithic approaches . wavelets and nonlinear smoothers . graphical methods and data mining . biostatistics and bioinformatics . bagging and boosting . support vector machines . resampling methods

Book Synopsis Semiparametric Methods in Econometrics by : Joel L. Horowitz
Download or read book Semiparametric Methods in Econometrics written by Joel L. Horowitz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many econometric models contain unknown functions as well as finite- dimensional parameters. Examples of such unknown functions are the distribution function of an unobserved random variable or a transformation of an observed variable. Econometric methods for estimating population parameters in the presence of unknown functions are called "semiparametric." During the past 15 years, much research has been carried out on semiparametric econometric models that are relevant to empirical economics. This book synthesizes the results that have been achieved for five important classes of models. The book is aimed at graduate students in econometrics and statistics as well as professionals who are not experts in semiparametic methods. The usefulness of the methods will be illustrated with applications that use real data.
