Using a Special Regressor to Identify Type I and Type II Error Probabilities, With an Illustrative Application to Miscarriages of Justice
利用特殊回归变量识别第一类与第二类错误概率:司法误判应用
We nonparametrically identify Type I and Type II error rates when mistakes are unobserved. Our strategy reframes the setting as a misclassified binary choice model, using a special regressor to identify the misclassification probabilities. Identification requires an exclusion restriction and a large support condition. When the exclusion restriction is in doubt, we show how our estimands can be interpreted as bounds under a weaker monotonicity condition. Bounds are also…
