学校绩效指标界限的识别与估计：带验证信息混合模型的非参数分析AI 解读

Abstract This paper identifies and nonparametrically estimates sharp bounds on school performance measures based on test scores that may not be valid for all students. A mixture model with verification is developed to handle this problem. This is a mixture model for data that can be partitioned into two sets, one of which (the so‐called verified set) is more likely to be from the distribution of interest than the other. An administrative classification of each student as…

迭代估计程序的收敛理论及其半参数估计应用AI 解读

We develop general conditions for rates of convergence and convergence in distribution of iterative procedures for estimating finite-dimensional parameters. An asymptotic contraction mapping condition is the centerpiece of the theory. We illustrate some of the results by deriving the limiting distribution of a two-stage iterative estimator of regression parameters in a semiparametric binary response model. Simulation results illustrating the computational benefits of the…

集合 VC 类的一个等价性结果AI 解读

Let and Θ be infinite sets and let × Θ. We show that the class of projections of A onto is a Vapnik–Chervonenkis ( VC ) class of sets if and only if the class of projections of A onto Θ is a VC class. We illustrate the result in the context of semiparametric estimation of a transformation model. In this application, the VC property is hard to establish for the projection class of interest but easy to establish for the other projection class.

变换模型的秩估计量AI 解读

We establish [square root] n -consistency and asymptotic normality of Han's (1987a, Journal of Econometrics 35, 191–209) estimator of the parameters characterizing the transformation function in a semiparametric transformation model. We verify a Vapnik–Cervonenkis (VC) condition for the parameterizations of Box and Cox (1964, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B 34, 187–200) and Bickel and Doksum (1981, Journal of the American Statistical Association 76,…

有序响应模型中的平移限制与半参数估计AI 解读

We develop a √n-consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the parameters (regression coefficients and threshold points) of a semiparametric ordered response model under the assumption of independence of errors and regressors. The independence assumption implies shift restrictions allowing identification of threshold points up to location and scale. The estimator is useful in various applications, particularly in new product demand forecasting from survey data subject…

广义半参数回归估计量分析中的 U 过程AI 解读

We prove -consistency and asymptotic normality of a generalized semiparametric regression estimator that includes as special cases Ichimura's semiparametric least-squares estimator for single index models, and the estimator of Klein and Spady for the binary choice regression model. Two function expansions reveal a type of U-process structure in the criterion function; then new U-process maximal inequalities are applied to establish the requisite stochastic equicontinuity…

退化U过程的最大不等式及其在优化估计中的应用AI 解读

Maximal inequalities for degenerate $U$-processes of order $k, k \geq 1$, are established. The results rest on a moment inequality (due to Bonami) for $k$th-order forms and on extensions of chaining and symmetrization inequalities from the theory of empirical processes. Rates of uniform convergence are obtained. The maximal inequalities can be used to determine the limiting distribution of estimators that optimize criterion functions having $U$-process structure. As an…

最大秩相关估计量的极限分布AI 解读

Han's maximum rank correlation estimator is shown to be square-root n-consistent and asymptotically normal. The proof rests on a general method for determining the asymptotic distribution of a maximization estimator, a simple U-statistic decomposition, and a uniform bound for degenerate U-processes. A consistent estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix is provided, along with a result giving the explicit form of this matrix for any model within the scope of the maximum…
