城市犯罪时空面板计数模型的似然推断与预测AI 解读

Summary We develop a panel count model with a latent spatio‐temporal heterogeneous state process for monthly severe crimes at the census‐tract level in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our dataset combines Uniform Crime Reporting data with socio‐economic data. The likelihood is estimated by efficient importance sampling techniques for high‐dimensional spatial models. Estimation results confirm the broken‐windows hypothesis whereby less severe crimes are leading indicators for…

相关误差 Probit 模型的高效估计AI 解读

Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of probit models with correlated errors typically requires high-dimensional truncated integration. Prominent examples of such models are multinomial probit models and binomial panel probit models with serially correlated errors. In this paper we propose to use a generic procedure known as Efficient Importance Sampling (EIS) for the evaluation of likelihood functions for probit models with correlated errors. Our proposed EIS algorithm covers…

动态不变性多项 Probit 模型：识别、预检验与估计AI 解读

We present a new specification for the multinomial multiperiod probit model with autocorrelated errors. In sharp contrast with commonly used specifications, ours is invariant with respect to the choice of a baseline alternative for utility differencing. It also nests these standard models as special cases, allowing for data-based selection of the baseline alternatives for the latter. Likelihood evaluation is achieved under an Efficient Importance Sampling (EIS) version of…
