含误分类且内生二元解释变量的回归模型识别AI 解读

We study identification in nonparametric regression models with a misclassified and endogenous binary regressor when an instrument is correlated with misclassification error. We show that the regression function is nonparametrically identified if one binary instrument variable and one binary covariate satisfy the following conditions. The instrumental variable corrects endogeneity; the instrumental variable must be correlated with the unobserved true underlying binary…

区制转换计量模型中极大似然估计量的渐近性质AI 解读

Markov regime switching models have been widely used in numerous empirical applications in economics and finance. However, the asymptotic distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) has not been proven for some empirically popular Markov regime switching models. In particular, the asymptotic distribution of the MLE has been unknown for models in which some elements of the transition probability matrix have the value of zero, as is commonly assumed in empirical…

正态混合回归模型的成分数量检验AI 解读

Testing the number of components in finite normal mixture models is a long-standing challenge because of its nonregularity. This article studies likelihood-based testing of the number of components in normal mixture regression models with heteroscedastic components. We construct a likelihood-based test of the null hypothesis of m0 components against the alternative hypothesis of m0 + 1 components for any m0. The null asymptotic distribution of the proposed modified EM test…

多元混合模型成分数的非参数识别与估计AI 解读

Summary We analyse the identifiability of the number of components in k-variate, M-component finite mixture models in which each component distribution has independent marginals, including models in latent class analysis. Without making parametric assumptions on the component distributions, we investigate how one can identify the number of components from the distribution function of the observed data. When k⩾2, a lower bound on the number of components (M) is…

结构离散马尔可夫决策模型的伪似然估计与自助推断AI 解读

This paper analyzes the higher-order properties of the estimators based on the nested pseudo-likelihood (NPL) algorithm and the practical implementation of such estimators for parametric discrete Markov decision models. We derive the rate at which the NPL algorithm converges to the MLE and provide a theoretical explanation for the simulation results in Aguirregabiria and Mira [Aguirregabiria, V., Mira, P., 2002. Swapping the nested fixed point algorithm: A class of…
